Bubble and squeak

Typically made from cold vegetables that have been left over from a previous meal.. The chief ingredients are potato and cabbage, The cold chopped vegetables are fried in a pan together with mashed potato until the mixture is well-cooked and brown on the sides. The name is a description of the action and sound made during the cooking process.

- spotted dick is an old-fashioned steamed pudding which dates back to at least the 1800s. - The "spotted" refers to the dried fruit, while "dick" may be a corruption of the word pudding.

Welsh rabbit

Tourists in Wales must be regularly disappointed to find that the traditional "rabbit" they've ordered is little more than a gourmet version of cheese on toast. The name is said to be something of an English joke, coined in the 18th century when many Welsh were so poor they could not even afford a cheap meat like rabbit. Hilarious...

Singing hinniesA rather delightful name for a northern dish of currant cakes cooked on a griddle. "Singing" refers to the sizzling sound of the cakes as they cook in fat, while "hinny" is, of course, a northern term of endearment.
