This is to Sparky

[tanarill]

A question from my mother, who knows I talk to people on that side of the Pond and has questions. There's a food called "bubble and squeak," which is absolutely disgusting and made of overboiled cabbage and potato lumps. It's either English or Irish. I'm supposed to find out which.

Which?

(And if you have a recipe for something that doesn't taste like boiled gym socks, it would be much appreciated.)
