Bubble and squeak is an odd name for a delicious dish but it's British and we're a bit weird aren't we? This dish dates back to the 18th Century in Great Britain and originally it utilised left over roast beef with cabbage, fried up with lard until all lovely and crispy.
Nowadays bubble and squeak is usually prepared with potatoes, cabbage and basically whatever other left over veggies you have from yesterdays roast. The switch to potato for bubble and squeak happened because of rationing in WW2 where beef was a luxury we couldn't afford.
The bubble is the sound the bubbling lard in the frying pan and the squeak is because cabbages are squeaky.
I do hope you enjoy my bubble and squeak recipe.
