 I honestly have no idea why these croquettes are called bubble and squeek… unless you count the ‘noise’ they make when you put them in the hot oil. And it bubbles too then, but that is more the oil bubbling then the croquettes right, so why…?? No idea.. The croquettes were supposed to accompany our...

The croquettes look delicious. During my stay in the Netherlands I noted that the Dutch enjoy a variety of croquettes. All very good. Happy holidays to you! [Reply]

This is a great way to use up leftovers! It’s quite a common dish here in the UK and yea I always wonder why bubble and squeak. [Reply]

Hi Simone – I’ve never had bubble and squeek before but I think I will try your recipe just because I like the idea of people asking me what the recipe is called and me having to say “bubble and squeek!”. Other than that of course it looks yummy – I don’t mind having two large portions! And the wedding pic – stunning! The couple look so happy and everything is gorgeous, the dress, the bride and groom, the background!! [Reply]

I’m not sure either why they are called “bubble and squeak”. I know it’s an English term…nonetheless they look delightful but I understand your reasons for not including them. The white wedding pic with the snow is beautiful Simone. [Reply]

That’s an interesting name. The croquettes looks delish. I love the photo in the snow.It makes me wish there’s snow here.. [Reply]

I have fond memories of bubble and squeek, mum used to make it when we had leftover veg from the Sunday dinner. Like the croquette version, much more stylish. Beautiful white wedding too – must have been very cold tho! [Reply]

These croquettes look simply succulent and fabulous! I have only heard of bubble and squeek as a layered dish, never made in croquette form, but boy do I love it like this. Yum! And I can see that you would rather eat these as a lunch dish on their own rather than part of a meal. Well, I would! And the wedding photo is stunning! Beautiful! [Reply]

Thanks for sharing! Would love to try making croquettes someday! Haven’t tried before! Your wedding photo is just so stunning and sweet!! Wish I’ll have something like this someday, too! [Reply]

These croquettes look and sound wonderful! I have heard that “bubble and squeak” refers to the after-effects of the cabbage and turnip that one might experience. lol. [Reply]  Simone (junglefrog) Reply: Really? O haha, I never would have thought that that would be the reason for the name… hmm, didn’t experience any after-effects… [Reply]

 It has been one of those things we’d been meaning to do for a loooong time; going to the farmers market here in Almere. Now that we’re on the subject of shopping; can I just complain for a little bit about the lack of good produce here in Almere? There are really not a lot...

I love to go to markets!! In London, I don’t really enjoy the markets here as they tend to be too expensive! Whenever I go to France, I always make a visit to the local markets even though I don’t purchase anything. It’s just the vibes!! [Reply]

Ooooh! What wonderful photos! Is that chard? It looks beautiful. Also, goat cheese and honey – my favorite! [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: Thanks Irene. I thought it was rhubarb, but you’re so right!! This is swiss chard! How stupid of me anyway… [Reply]

Great pictures Simone. You’ve captured the spirit of the farmers markets quite well! [Reply]

Maybe it will pick up. I moved to Tennessee from California and was very sad about the food, but it’s getting better. Our local farmers market up the street is crowded and going all year now. I look forward to every saturday morning. [Reply]

We take farmers markets for granted here in Greece, but they do have wonderful produce. You can’t find very odd things (obviously), but anything that’s in season is in great abundance! I think that it is getting better in Europe though, so give it a bit of time. [Reply]

I’m sorry to hear about your lack of fresh produce (I know the feeling) but your market did look like it had lots of fresh veggies. The cheese looked great too. [Reply]

I am always excited at the thought of farmers markets! We are quite lucky in manchester, We can get most items fresh, even from faraway countries, like curry leaves, and odd vegetables I am still not familiar with: I’m trying everything that’s new but i have a lot to catch up with really!, A little bit of giudance is needed sometimes!

Your photos are amazing!! Going to the farmers market is one of the highlights of my week. I think you’ve captured the fun and fresh spirit quite well with your photos. [Reply]

Love farmer’s markets! Just went to one yesterday. [Reply]

Well even if it’s small I bet you’re glad it’s there! Farmers markets are so precious and it looks like you got some good produce. Every year I grow all the herbs that I can get my hands on except for cilantro and dill. There is something about them… they either die in a day or they sprout funny flowers. I hope you have better luck! [Reply]

Lovely pictures, also from The Swiss Chard!! There was also Rainbow Swiss chard! I love that in soups, stews, stampots,etc,….MMMMMMMMMMM!!!! [Reply] 
Kate - July 7, 2009 - 16:07
That is a great picture. I’ve been visiting some food blogs, which honestly I didn’t know there were. Making me hungry! [Reply]

Maybe the market will get larger in time. The chard is beautiful! Great shots of the sandwiches too. [Reply] |
