Rumbledethumps is a traditional Scottish dish akin to the English bubble and squeak or the Irish colcannon. It's a hearty, comforting side dish combining mashed potatoes, cabbage (or sometimes kale), and onions. These ingredients are mixed, seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes nutmeg, then baked in an oven until the top is golden brown. Often, it's topped with grated cheese, which melts into a deliciously crispy crust. Rumbledethumps showcases the simplicity and warmth of Scottish home cooking, making it a beloved comfort food, especially during the colder months.

    Another short story from the daughter of Scottish immigrants to Canada. My friends used to giggle and make fun of my mother making what they called bone soup. In reality it was oxtail soup. What they saw was bones in water. Today bone broth is known to be a superfood, full of collagen and nutrients. Sells for $20 a quart in health food stores. Being poor teaches how to get the most nutrition for pennies.

    I think we should just get the Scots to name foods. Menus would be far more interesting! 😂
  • @Miapetdragon69
    My mother's philosophy was leave lumps in the potatoes to let people know that they're real, and your gravy smooth, so they know you cared.
  • My Irish and Scottish ancestors are standing up and frantically applauding and shouting "Melody, MAKE THIS!!" And I always listen 😁
  • @jeancompston
    my mother used to make this during the war when we couldn't get meat. had forgotten this. What a memory. xxx

  • @chuzzthefuzz1908
    I like you, Rik. You’re a good cook, but you’re also a believer in “no fuss”😂which makes all the difference.
  • @mandarazlim1677
    When he was slicing the cabbage saying "Nice and steady, don't rush" it felt like my dad was with me in the kitchen teaching me how to cook for the first time.
  • @lpetitoiseau9146
    Who could resist? “Would you like Rumbledethumps?” Yes please.
  • @thorkinsey4793
    My wife just made this this for dinner tonight. So delicious! William Wallace would rise from the dead to eat it. I could eat this 7 days a week. Thank you for posting it.
  • Message to Rik; time to put together a simple no frills cook book my friend with all these great simple and “ old fashioned “, meaning simple, low cost, nutritious and filling food for a family or friends. There is right now a need for such a book as most of these traditional simple foods and recipes were lost with your great grandmother who learnt to cook and feed the family in tough times. Sadly we are about to witness these times for ourselves with the current world economic and conflict abundant times
  • I made this recipe today … with our own twist like you suggested. We included julienne spinach, chopped mushrooms, thinly sliced baby carrots, diced bacon, parmigiano reggiano, and garlic powder. It truly is the ultimate comfort food. My husband nearly melted when he walked in to the amazing aroma after work. Thank you for sharing!
  • @gordonhide4539
    Got this cooking right now 😂 The name is derived from two words...RUMBLED meaning mixed & THUMPED meaning BASHED TOGETHER kath yorkshire 😊
  • @ilari90
    In Finland we have cabbage casserole: cabbage, onion, garlic, minced meat, rice, bit of water, maybe egg or two (for keeping it all together), spices, served with lingonberries or lingonberry jam for contrast. Cheap and easy.
  • @tonydeeble6959
    I was born in Watford in 1954 and in the early 60s when my Mum prepared cabbage the core was given to the kids as a treat and we loved it!
  • @jasonlist3253
    You probably heard me from here, but every time you said"more butter", I shouted Amen! :)
  • @kbutler317
    When you said I’d normally say this was six portions…not today it’s four. I laughed out loud!!
