The whole idea of Bubble & Squeak is to use up leftover vegetables, usually after a roast dinner. Savoy cabbage and carrots are common vegetables to use in Bubble & Squeak, but you really can use what you have. Over the years this changed and potato and other vegetables were added and the beef was removed.
Back in the 18th century when the dish was first recorded, it was just beef and cabbage mixed together and fried. The unusual name, Bubble & Squeak is thought to come from the sound that is made whilst cooking.

The name comes from the noise (bubbling and squeaking sounds) that it makes while frying in the pan. My version of bubble and squeak is below. For Colcannon, the ham or bacon is eaten with the meal, but not mixed in as it is with Bubble and Squeak. Spring onions, scallions or chives may also be used. Several recipes for Colcannon use kale instead of cabbage. These dishes were often made for breakfast since they contained bacon and/or ham. They are perfect when you have leftovers. These recipes became popular as cheap, year-round food. Both recipes call for cooked boiled mashed potatoes, cooked chopped cabbage, onions, and herbs. I was recently surprised to find a recipe for Colcannon, which is a classic Irish recipe that is very similar in ingredients and method of cooking.
Rundell’s, “A New System of Domestic Cookery” in 1806. Bubble and Squeak is a classic English dish. We started making Bubble and Squeak at our house after watching an episode of “The Frugal Gourmet” back in the 1980’s.
