Rumbledethumps

[patriceinil]

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.
