Mother’s Monday bubble and squeak --222

Bubble and squeak, its the left over boiled potato's cabbage carrots and any other vegetables mashed together cold and fried up in a big frying pan until the underside is crisp and toasted, then turned and turned until its all piping hot then served up with cold sliced beef and pickled onions or almost any pickles.

I might add that a double portions of everything was prepared for the Sunday lunch time, only half used, then the deliberate left overs saved mother having to prepare Mondays lunch from scratch as Mondays were always her "washing day" when she was very busy.  

Is it, "bubble and squeak",  know as that all over the country/world I wonder, all I know it was always used round here, or is it just our local name for the meal?

Go on put me a reply on here I'd like to know? 

 On Mother’s washing day, she had not much time to prepare a meal and this was regular Monday fare. When it began to smoke it was time to turn it over in the pan, and heated in minuets.

Mother and father's wedding day 1930, they must have worked hard through the depression of the 1930's/40's to bring up us kids and on through the second world war.
They knew how to be self sufficient and live off the land, nothing was every wasted, they always said when they killed a pig we used everything except the squeal.

  Mother’s Monday bubble and squeak

At lunch time every Monday, mother made bubble and squeak,

Potatoes’ and cabbage and other veg, sometimes even a leek,

All ingredients left over’s from Sunday, put in big pan to fry,

Crisping on the bottom then turned, plenty of heat apply.

 Cold beef sliced and put on plates, contents of pan dealt out,

Pan was a big one, it had to be, six plates to fill no doubt,

Pickled onions and pickled red cabbage, went with this a treat,

All home made stored in big jars, made the meal complete,

Jug of gravy thick and hot , often a skin on top,

All of it devoured with relish, plates cleaned off the lot.
