maybe you’ll visit in september?
easy, it’s not what you think. this past spring, i came across bubble and squeak on a menu. unsure what it was and too embarrassed to ask, i left the restaurant wondering. a british food glossary in a recent dwell magazine issue set me straight. here is the short list:
-bubble and squeak: leftover cooked veggies + meat pan-fried w/ mashed potatoes
-knickerbocker glory: ice-cream sundae in a milkshake glass
-piccalilli: chutneylike condiment made of chopped vegetables
-singing binnies: flour, milk + lard blended into dough + griddle-fried like pancakes
-spotted dick: steamed suet pudding containing dry fruit
no doubt you could pick up a can at myers of keswick on hudson street in nyc.
