What about Irish colcannon - also made all over Scotland.
Mash potatoes with milk and butter - add cooked cabbage and fried onions and/or leeks, mix together...... Great!
Leftovers can become the great English dish - Bubble and Squeak. Simply squidge the cold mixture into a frying pan containing a little hot oil.... leave to brown on one side, then use a plate to turn it over and brown on that side.... eat hot with fried eggs and HP sauce for breakfast!

Well since this one is so common in my house I forgot completely about it!!!
We heat with a wood stove, it is always warm to hot on the surface, so....
I keep a pot of beans with different seasons going almost all of the time ... one week it might be Mexican, another Middle East, etc. ... !
This allows anyone who is in the need for food to just scoup up a bowl whenever they need it!
We have also done what we call Hobo Stew this way... as you take out you add something else... just be safe and don't keep things too long, we don't need to get sick.

Recipe Name: BOILED BACON AND CABBAGE Category: IRISH Serves: 4
2 1/2 Pound Collar of bacon Medium-sized cabbage
(NB: in Ireland, "bacon" can mean *any* cut of pork except ham. When people here want what North Americans call bacon, they ask for "rashers" or "streaky rashers". As far as I can tell, "collar of bacon" is a cut from the hock, picnic shoulder, or shoulder butt (I am here using terms from the diagram in THE JOY OF COOKING). You want any thick cut of pork, with or without bones, about four inches by four inches by four or five inches. It does not have to have been salted first, but if you want to approximate the taste of the real Irish thing, put it down in brine for a day or two, then (when ready to cook it) bring to a boil first, boil about 10 minutes, change the water, and start the recipe from the following point. .
Place the joint in a pot, cover with cold water and bring to the boil, Remove the scum that floats to the surface. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours (or 30 minutes per pound). Cut cabbage into quarters and add to pot. Cook gently for about 1/2 hour, or until cabbage is cooked to your liking. (Test constantly: don't overdo it!) Drain, and serve with potatoes boiled in their jackets, and a sharp sauce -- mustard or (if you can get it) HP sauce.
2 cups White beans (canned) 1 cup Chicken cooked 1 cup Chorizo (or kielbasa) sausage sliced 1 cup Ham diced 1 Onion diced 1 1/2 teaspo Garlic minced 2 Potato large dice 1 cup Cabbage sliced 2 cups Kale sliced 2 Turnip peeled and diced 3 cups Chicken broth Salt and pepper to taste
Add all ingredients to a large soup pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender (about 50-60 minutes). Serve warm with a loaf of hearty bread.
RW HP is a fruity, tangy brown sauce -slightly 'hot'. It comes in a tall bottle with a blue label of the Houses of Parliament (HP, geddit? No-one said that early advertising was clever!)
It is THE best 'brown sauce' as opposed to 'tomato' sauce in THE WORLD, BAR NONE, WITHOUT A DOUBT etc.......
A cheese sandwich on crusty brown bread, with a dollop of HP? Great. A Scottish mutton pie and chips (Imean 'our' chips, ie your French Fries!) with HP - historic!
Such is my addiction......
Ask Barddas, he likes it too - and he's in the US - so I suppose he has a secret supplier somewhere local to him! Cat

Yes, Mary, I get it at Jungle Jims. I believe they ship things like that. Since this store is known country wide! I have met people that have come from New York just to go there!!! Here is a link...
*lol* you won't believe how confused I was when I first read the name "catsup" ... I didn't quite see how it could be what I know as "red sauce" or "ketchup"
anyway, when it comes to tomatosauces I developed a thing for that new lea & perrins stuff, tomato + worcester.. mjam, great on steaks!
We have Heinz tomato sauce.... and types like the Lee & Perrins Worcester Tomato that AD is talking about. Haven't tried that one, AD - you recommend it, do you?
