Scottish Rumbledethumps

Potatoes and cabbage have long been two main staple foods in Europe, but that doesn’t mean that they have to taste plain. Take Scottish rumbledethumps for instance. This dish combines cabbage, potatoes, and sharp cheddar cheese for a savory dish that’s great as the side dish or even as the star of the show.

To start with you’ll need to boil 4 cups of potatoes until fork tender, then drain and mash them up.

Next you’ll need to sauté 2 chopping onions and head of cabbage in butter before mixing the vegetables with the potatoes and half the cheese.

Then the rest of the cheese goes on top of the mixture and it bakes for 30 minutes uncovered and 5 more uncovered just to make sure the sharp cheddar cheese topping is golden and melty.

Scottish rumbledethumps bears some resemblance to the Irish dish, colcannon. However, there a few differences, such as the lack of bacon in the former. That doesn’t mean that you can’t customize this dish to make it your own. Scottish rumbledethumps is a dish from the border lands of southern Scotland and northern England and people in the old days likely would have used whatever they had on hand to round out this dish.

This humble dish is said to get its name from the mashing action needed to create the perfect consistency.

Any way you decide to make this historical dish, it’s sure to turn out absolutely delicious.

MY DAUGHTER SWITCHED SEATS MID-FLIGHT—AND I FOUND OUT WHY TOO LATE It was supposed to be a quiet flight. Just me and my daughter, Reyna, heading to Phoenix to see my sister. I’d packed snacks, downloaded a few cartoons on the iPad, and even brought her unicorn plushie that she won’t sleep without. We boarded early, settled into our seats—me by the window, Reyna in the middle. I had just started zoning out, watching the tarmac, when I realized she was no longer beside me. I turned my head and there she was, squished in next to a man across the aisle, looking up at him like she knew him. “Reyna,” I said, trying to keep my voice calm. “Come back over here, baby.” She turned to me with the most serious face I’ve ever seen on a four-year-old and said, “No, I wanna sit with Grandpa.” I laughed awkwardly. “Sweetie, that’s not Grandpa.” The man looked just as confused as I was. “I’m sorry,” he said, glancing between us. “I’ve never met her before.” But Reyna didn’t budge. She grabbed the man’s arm with both hands and leaned in like she was guarding him. “She knows me,” she insisted. “You’re Grandpa Mike.” My stomach dropped. Not because I recognized the guy—he was a stranger to me—but because of the name. Mike. That’s my dad’s name. The dad who left when I was seven. The one Reyna’s never met. The one I never talk about. I tried to laugh it off again, but something about the way Reyna kept staring at him made my chest tighten. The man looked just as shaken as I felt. Then he said something I didn’t expect.⬇️ Continue reading in the first comment 👇
