    Bubble and Squeak with Ham

    Bubble and squeak is usually thought of as a way of using left-over potato and cabbage, however it is even more delicious if made with freshly cooked ingredients. The addition of ham in this version makes it into a tasty and substantial lunch or supper dish. Ham knuckles are available from the delicatessen service counter.
