About Molly Parr

I love to cook, think about food, and learn about food. I’m a Gastronomy and Food Studies student at Boston University, and when people ask what I am going to do with my master’s I tell them I am going to do food writing. But that’s a few years down the road.

Rumbledethump, er, Colcannon, er, Bubble and Squeak

From Molly Parr — Blog by
January 23, 2009

Last night for dinner I made rumbldethump, which is the Scottish version of the Irish colcannon, which is the Irish version of the British bubble and squeak. I went with rumbledethump because of the addition of bubbling melted cheddar on top. I changed out the regular mashed potatoes for mashed parsnips and potatoes. I first sauteed the parsnips in butter until they were a deep amber, then added the potatoes, stock, and eventual warm milk and more butter.
