Tom, what you call Colcannon, I call Bubble and Squeek. I always make mine from leftovers, but I make sure I make enough mashed potatoes and cabbage the first time round so that I can have Bubble & Squeek the next day.

Has anyone ever read "The Wind in the Willows" where poor Mr. Toad is in jail and the jailer’s daughter brings him B&S to comfort him?

Whatever you call it, it’s only one of the best dishes known to mankind! (And I am NOT exaggerating.) YUM!

Trish,

What I call B&S is Colcannon with cooked ground beef added. Either way, it’s great stuff! Next morning I reheat it in the skillet and have it for breakfast, with hot sauce. I did a quick recipe search over the internet, and it looks like B&S can be made with or without the beef. And Colcannon never has ground beef, but sometimes has bacon (like I make it) and sometimes has sausage.

Good topic!

Tom
