United Kingdom Bubble and Squeak
Bubble and squeak, a fried hash usually made from leftover cooked potatoes and cabbage, is so named because the cabbage makes a bubbling and squeaking sound as it cooks in the pan. Diced leftover vegetables can be added to the hash, as can bits of meat or bacon. Bubble and squeak is often served as a side dish, or as part of a full English breakfast.
