Bubble and squeak is a traditional British breakfast dish made from potatoes and cabbage.
In modern times, it is a dish made with the shallow-fried Sunday leftover vegetables from a roast dinner. The main ingredients are potato and cabbage, but carrots, peas, sprouts, or any other leftover vegetables may be added. The chopped vegetables (and cold chopped meat, if used) are fried in a pan together with mashed potatoes or crushed roast potatoes until the mixture is well-cooked and brown on the sides. The dish is so named because the cabbage makes bubbling and squeaking sounds during the cooking process.[1] It is often served with cold meat from the Sunday roast and pickles or brown sauce, or as an accompaniment to a full English breakfast.
The meat was traditionally added to the bubble and squeak, although nowadays it is more commonly made without meat. The earliest-known recipe was in Mrs Rundell's A New System of Domestic Cookery in 1806.[2]
The name bubble and squeak is used primarily in England (for Scotland and Ireland[3] see the section Similar dishes), and it may also be understood in parts of some other Commonwealth countries and the United States.[4][5]
Bubble and squeak has been a popular dish since the late 1800s, as it was an easy way of using leftovers. In more recent times, ready-made pre-prepared versions have become available on the market.
