Thumb_509188444_1c341153b4What is guacamole?

A Mexican avocado dip that's eaten with tortilla chips or used to garnish a number of dishes like burritos, tacos, enchiladas and tostadas, guacamole is often eaten with salsa and sour cream. Guacamole is made by mashing up avocado to a desired consistency from chunky to smooth and then adding salt, lime (or lemon) juice, onion, cilantro and usually tomatoes. Ground cumin may also be added. Guacamole is Aztec in origin and also popular in Cuba and Central America.

Like bangers and mash, bubble and squeak is British comfort food, a homey dish made from a mixture of mashed potatoes and chopped cooked cabbage that's fried until golden. Bubble and squeak was traditionally a way to use up leftover meat from the requisite English Sunday roast, with the meat added to the mixture. But now it's usually made without meat. It is similar to the Irish dish Colcannon. Bubble and squeak's colorful name apparently refers to the sounds it makes as it cooks -- or lands in your stomach.
