  • Опубликовано: 21 мар 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.

    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've always added some swede to the mash. My family are all from Scotland so I was raised in tatties 'n neeps. My mum always called it Scottish soul food, lol. I like the idea of infusing the milk with onion. I'm going to give that a go when I feel like being a bit fancy 😁

    What a delightful presentation. No bullshit but just common sense! No golden rules but do whatever you prefer. Also appreciate the calm way you are showing how to make this!
    I’m Dutch and the Dutch love mashed dishes, one of the most famous Dutch mashed recipe is Hutspot followed by Boerenkoolstamppot.

    "No rush. Nice and steady..." Then proceeds to chop at breakneck (or cut finger) speed! Your knife must be super sharp. I love the table top burner....I'm going to check out one of those for myself.
