I love swede so rumbledethumps for me

[LeonBlank1995]

JJ, I now have to throw "Champ" in to the mix. Admittedly never heard of it. Looks like a fried egg is whacked on top. No bad thing.

Emmie- yes. B&S is very good with a full English as well.

Non of the above.
And how could a boiled ham possibly be nice?

[pastafreak]

Definitely colcannon please.

[barry1010]

Boiled ham is lovely hot and cold. How could it not be nice?

My opinion is that looking at the recipe for each of your dishes they are very much the same, a mixture of leafy greens and root veg.

Why not try something different? Sauerkraut and buttered new potatoes go nice with boiled ham, or roasties with a mixed leaf salad.

[LeonBlank1995]

Ooooh Aunty. I had sauerkraut on a fancy hotdog once. Strange flavour.

[1ozzy]

I've just googled colcannon.
If that's on your menu I no wonder why you people destroy good food.

[emmie]

1ozzy we don't destroy good food so much as waste it.

[1ozzy]

And after it's wasted it seems it's eaten.
Why destroy good food?

a couple of free-range eggs & some home made chips

Leon, Sauerkraut is like pickled white cabbage, very good for your Gut health apparently. Very popular in Germany where they serve a huge plate of Sauerkraut with all sorts of Ham, sausage and pork products on top with potatoes around the side.

Egg and chips

[pastafreak]

I'm trying to figure out how tarting up the humble potato with greens,butter, and cream is ruining it?

[burlyshirley]

I'm with davebro.

[1ozzy]

Tarting up a humble potato is great.
But with cabbage?
Cabbage is only just slightly better than Brussels Sprouts.
Devils food.
Food that is designed to make people regurgitate.

Chips and egg sir

Champ and cheese sauce.
Champ doesn’t have egg on it! It’s basically overbuttered mashed spuds with scallions through it.
