Bubble and Squeak is a traditional British dish that dates back to the 18th century. It was originally created as a way to use up leftover vegetables, particularly potatoes and cabbage, from a Sunday roast. The name "Bubble and Squeak" is said to come from the sounds the dish makes while cooking in the pan. The dish is typically made by frying the leftover vegetables in a pan until they are crispy and golden brown. It is often served as a side dish with meats or as a main course with a fried egg on top. Some chefs and restaurants in the UK, such as The Ivy in London, have put their own gourmet spin on this classic dish, elevating it to a new level of culinary delight. Today, the best versions of Bubble and Squeak can be found in traditional British pubs and restaurants across the UK. The key to a delicious Bubble and Squeak lies in using quality leftover vegetables and achieving the perfect crispy texture when frying. While the classic recipe calls for potatoes and cabbage, variations may include other leftover vegetables such as carrots, peas, or Brussels sprouts. Some chefs also add in leftover meats like roast beef or ham to give the dish an extra savory flavor. Whether enjoyed as a comforting leftover meal or a gourmet creation at a top restaurant, Bubble and Squeak continues to hold a special place in British culinary tradition.
