Cute trivia I learnt from an elderly Kiwi lady during dinner:
“You know, dear, in New Zealand we would chop up leftover vegetables from a meal, pour some oil over them and heat them up for the next meal, and we call that bubble and squeak!”

Wow, I haven’t had bubble and squeak in years! My mother used to do it with leftover mashed potatoes and cabbage. Thanks for the reminder! 🙂 And thanks for joining in 😀

Oh, so it’s not just in NZ! Interesting 🙂 that was the first time I heard of it, and that sweet lady seemed pretty amused with the name herself. Hope you had a great vacation, Linda!
