What is Bubble and Squeak?
Bubble and Squeak is a traditional British breakfast dishthat's a bit like a large pancake/frittatamade usingvegetables(usually cabbage) and mashed potatoes, usually leftovers from a roast dinner. They get fried together in a pan until golden brown on both sides.
It's called Bubble and Squeak because the cabbage makes bubbling and squeaking sounds as it's being cooked.
