Bubble and Squeak - Fry-up

Cowbridge Kitchen

This is an old school classic, one of my Dads favourites. Bubble & Squeak or Fry up is made from Cabbage and Mash, mixed together and fried in a pan, of course you can throw any leftover vegetables such as Swede into this.

Back in the 80's Bubble and Squeak was a way for folks to make food go further and it became a family favourite. Fry-up can be served on its own or often these days with fried eggs.

    How to make Bubble and Squeak

    Bubble and Squeak is also called a British Fry Up, this is because it is a classic British recipe for using up left over food from a Sunday roast, namely Cabbage and Potatoes.

    The dish gets it's name 'Bubble and Squeak' from the fact that when it is cooking the fry up spits and bubbles and makes a high pitched sound that sounds like it's squeaking.

    In this recipe I have added ham or bacon to the dish, but this was not traditionally done.
