  • Опубліковано 21 бер 2024
  • Rumbledethumps is a traditional Scottish dish akin to the English bubble and squeak or the Irish colcannon. It's a hearty, comforting side dish combining mashed potatoes, cabbage (or sometimes kale), and onions. These ingredients are mixed, seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes nutmeg, then baked in an oven until the top is golden brown. Often, it's topped with grated cheese, which melts into a deliciously crispy crust. Rumbledethumps showcases the simplicity and warmth of Scottish home cooking, making it a beloved comfort food, especially during the colder months.

    Another short story from the daughter of Scottish immigrants to Canada. My friends used to giggle and make fun of my mother making what they called bone soup. In reality it was oxtail soup. What they saw was bones in water. Today bone broth is known to be a superfood, full of collagen and nutrients. Sells for $20 a quart in health food stores. Being poor teaches how to get the most nutrition for pennies.

      Not pennies anymore in New Zealand, our potatoes, cabbage & even onions all cost too much these days. Even our humble staples are becoming difficult for some families.
      At my local supermarket the cheapest potatoes are $11 for only 4kg, $2.50 per kg onions, a cabbage is on special at $6 (usually MUCH more but we are entering winter now), cheese is almost always over $10 per kg. There are reasons we have too much pasta in our meals because at $1 a packet it's cheaper than basic filling veges 😢
      Am very envious of food pricing in UK and US, especially when even NZ lamb or fruits are cheaper overseas (incl currency conversions) that we can buy here at home because majority gets exported.

    It's really great seasonal, regional dishes, and you make it all so simple. These traditional dishes remind us that eating seasonally can still be tasty and cooking from scratch isn't difficult. It's how I was brought up before supermarkets and ultra processed food. These fresh dishes are full of buttery goodness too.
    Thank you for reviving these recipes.

    A meal in itself. That pan full of cabbage and onions reminded me of the haluski I had for dinner - just add noodles. Here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., all of us love cabbage, onions and potatoes thanks to all the Slavs that emigrated here so this will be perfect. Just wish I had some big strong fellow who can whack the whole head of cabbage in half like you - I'm a smallish lady so I have to cut around that hard core, but I get it done.

      My Mum taught me a little trick for chopping big tough things, like squash, that you can’t cut right through from the top. Use a big sharp knife: whack down horizontally onto the top of the squash so the knife sticks into it. You might be able to wiggle it further in. Then - here’s the trick - turn your knife over, with the squash stuck on, so the sharp edge of the blade now faces up. Now tap the back (blunt) edge of the knife onto the countertop and let gravity do the work.

    I just noticed your creeping towards the 100000 subscribers as I said to you a couple of weeks back Rik. Onwards and upwards and well deserved mate. 👍
