    How about mash done as Colcannon (mashed potato, cabbage & onion), you can find various recipes on line, served with what ever your budget runs to, sausages, pork chops, lamb chops, steak etc.

    Have you tried serving mash with chilli con carne instead of rice, (I mention this as I make my chill with oxtail soup and some times serves on a bed of mash, real comfort food).

    Great idea, thanks! :T That sounds lovely - will have to try it. A real winter warmer!
    Trying to spend less time on MSE so I can get more done ... it's not going great so far! :)
    Sorry if I don't reply to posts - I'm having MAJOR trouble keeping up these days!

    Mmmmm that sounds delish Meadows - I've often had chilli with mash but I've not made chilli with oxtail soup before. May have to give that a go.

  • my fav is mash, baked beans and gravy lol! I know it sounds awful but I love it

    The cabbage and onion's sounds lush
  • I used to live with a vegetarian and i used to make a homemade version of the much missed pizza express 'king edward' which was CRUSHED potatoes (not quite mashed) layered with mozarella, basil and tomato pizza sauce (any tasty tom sauce would do) and rosemary, bung it in the oven topped with more cheese so it goes brown and lush and its delicious and cheap!

    Here is one that is maybe a little different - a speciality from Belgium called 'chicons'

    Make your mashed potato and mix in a tbsp (or more depending on quantity of mash) of grainy mustard.

    Boil or steam some chicory (at least one per person) for about 12 minutes unti just tender.
    Cut each chicory in half lengthwise.

    You will need sliced cheese and sliced ham. Put a slice of ham on top of a slice of cheese, and roll a half-chicory in it. The cheese is on the outside. Repeat for each half-chicory.

    Put your mustardy mash on the bottom of an ovenproof dish. Arrange the ham-and-cheese chicory on top, seam down. Place in oven until golden and bubbly.

    You can even make it in advance and put the assembled dish in the oven when you need it.
    And it's cheap, too! We love this in winter. Although kittie's black pudding comes very close.......
