bubble and squeak

Fried British leftovers

Bubble and squeak is a British dish of leftover vegetables—traditionally cabbage and potatoes—fried together until crispy.

The name imitates the sounds the ingredients make while cooking.

It originated as a way to use up Sunday roast leftovers: We're having bubble and squeak for Monday lunch.
