Boxing Day = Bubble & Squeek - Christmas day's leftover vegetables mixed up all together and fried in a frying pan with a little oil (or turkey dripping - that's the fat off the turkey that's now solidified - sounds great doesn't it?)until hot all though and slightly scorched on the bottom, and then served with Cold Turkey (not the drug-related sort, although another two days and into Turkey casserole - that's the one that follows Turkey Curry - and you'll probably be needing them) and pickles (piccalilly, sweet pickles, mango chutney - whatever takes your fancy) plus some gherkins and/or pickled onions to round off the dish. And you thought we Brits were heathens when it came to cuisine - well, really!
