When I have left over mash I like to mix it with chopped onion and then fry it as part of a big breakfast.

You would have thought they'd splash out on a decent camera for doing this, it looks like it was recorded on a VHS tape back in the 80's.

Bubble and Squeek is normally cabbage and mash. It's yum but I haven't had it for years.

I love mashed potatoes, any type of potato actually but I don't like Bubble and Squeak from what I remember of it!:eek:

I liked bubble and squeak... the cabbage was identifiable but pretty well mangled, fried, and peppered to acceptability.

I used the Rose Elliot one at first but I add yeast extract and other spices. I made a really nice red wine gravy at x-mas but I can't remember what I chucked in it now.:D Sometimes I freeze left over wine in ice cube trays to use for gravy.:)

Just nearly spat my lunch out laughing as when I read Blackcats' post I thought well BB never has any left over wine and then he goes and proves me right. I am not a wine fan so not me drinking it all :D

I love mashed potato, think it's my favourite food, and will eat it any way it's cooked.

My trick is to freeze some of the wine at the start of the bottle so I shouldn't have said it was left over.:D
