Hello Folks!
I hope I find you all well. Tonight I'm making Rumbledethumps! You may not have heard of it before...It's a traditional dish from the Scottish Borders.
The main ingredients are potato, cabbage and onion. Similar to Irish colcannon, and English bubble and squeak, it is either served as an accompaniment to a main dish or as a main dish itself. It's so tasty....and a wonderfully filling comfort food!
There aren't really any set quantities of the individual ingredients, it's really a matter of personal preference, but I've listed below what I've used here....incase you want to give it a go!
You can add all sorts of things to this to suit your own taste and dietary requirements.
-Cheryl x

Serves 4 (depending on portion size)
5 -6 Good sized Potatoes - I used Maris Piper, a dry floury potato is best!
50g (1.7 oz) Butter
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 Spring onions, sliced
2 Good handfuls of grated cheese - I used mature Cheddar
Half a head of cabbage, shredded
200g (7 oz) Shredded ham - I used smoked ham hock
1 Large onion, chopped

American here - I think this looks absolutely fabulous, and I’m going to have to give it a go - but if truth be told, I’m equally enchanted with that lovely Scottish accent of yours. So beautiful!! Sending blessings from the USA!

[@jeepstergal12]

Aye, her brogue is lovely!

[@elisasa3287]

@jeepstergal4043 - absolutely- to me, it’s melodic - just so lovely to listen to (makes me think just how “flat” American English must sound 😶).

[@ryanpoulter6286]

Definitely. I'd probably go full Indian fusion on this and really flavor the potatoes but that's the best part of cooking. As long as you like the results you can do whatever you like!

[@Gumby56]

@@jeepstergal12 it's a burr not a brogue.

[@rabtrenkz2257]

So lovely ❤️🌺

[@scott931]

I've made this with a shredded chunk of leftover corned beef. Yummy.

[@daphnewhite3479]

That's how I make corned beef hash. Another old and cherished recipe

[@adrienneshelley4696]

yes in uk we do we call it cornbeef hash just the same...both delish

[@sherry2641]

I am in America and I made this last night for my husband and I did add what we call 'ham steak' which is a big slice of I guess smokey ham and cut it up small he and I both loved it as a matter of fact I had some for lunch today and it was even better the next day! Thank you for this lovely recipe. I also used Cheddar Cheese and was perfect.

[@HailMary888]

That's what I tend to do today. I need more cabbage in my diet, and everything is good with potatoes and cheese. 😁

[@BrianMorrell-p2s]

Just made this today with corned beef absolutely gorgeous. Thanks Cheryl keep these Scottish recipes coming.

[@jimflynn466]

Corned beef!! Great idea I’ll try that👍

[@catalhuyuk7]

I was thinking corned beef too.

[@ruthkirkparick3535]

I'm want to make this just so I can tell my family we are having rumbledethumps. Also I like cabbage, cooked or in a salad. 😋

[@diannelavoie5385]

I like cabbage dishes too. But hubby, no way.

[@sharong8511]

@@diannelavoie5385 Perhaps serve it with cabbage on the side for you and add sliced carrots to the recipe?

[@lesliecraig559]

My scotish grandma made this often as a side dish for Thanksgiving for our family all these foods were lost when she passed,Thank you for this one in definitely making it.

[@VLind-uk6mb]

I'm doing a ham for Thanksgiving. I'd been thinking of roast potatoes, but may now switch to these, minus the shredded ham the first day, and if there are leftover rumbledethumps, I could shred some of the ham into that. I usually just do them with potatoes, cabbage and onions, but this is a tasty alternative.

[@HailMary888]

Awe, my ex was a Brit, and his family would come to my Thanksgiving dinner and condescend on Americans, hence he my ex. 🤣

[@KnitWitch]

American here: I think I've found a new comfort food! And you're correct, it wouldn't taste the same without charring the cabbage 💜

[@jimbrennan1181]

I love Rumbledethumps. I always serve it as a main course with some ham added in, alongside a green vegetable like broccoli and some roasted and buttered carrots. I love the idea of bringing the veg almost to burning to get some nice roastiness; I'll have to try that!

[@beccabbea2511]

Your combination suggestions sound perfect. Thank you. Now I just need some cabbage and carrots, no ham but I have bacon lardons that need using up, potatoes ✅ onions ✅ cheese ✅ broccoli ✅ other ingredients ✅. Tomorrow's dinner sorted. 😅

[@michaelshurtleff6364]

I love rumbledethumps! Pure comfort food goodness. If you add ham, it's a meal in itself.

[@jackiecrowe]

Here in Scotland if you make it with corned beef it's called Stovies

[@davidwagner6116]

That reminds me of my Mom's Mom. I'll make it again next time I see Mom.

[@margomoore4527]

This would work well for a church potluck. My husband doesn’t care so much for casseroles. Listening to your lovely (but clear) accent is such a pleasure.

[@veethomson6179]

I'm Scottish and 39 years old and have never had this in any form. This is the one I'll be making!! Love the production of the video and your accent (again, I'm Scottish but could listen to you all day!!!) and most importantly, the recipe!!! Instant follow!!! 💛🤤

[@ianforsythstewart8469]

Your Scottish food live

[@skeeterinnewjersey5256]

I've tried a version of this recipe from a Scottish KZbin channel and it was glorious. I'm now imagining using it as a topping for Cottage Pie instead of plain mashed!

[@cheryldillon7358]

I also like cabbage and ham soup. The cabbage tastes sweet and adding some black pepper is delicious.

[@angelareimann6433]

Good point about the charring of the cabbage. Will be making this!

[@glass_of_brandy]

Looks so good! I’m from KY and have some Scottish ancestry. This dish would fit right in with dishes my granny used to make. I’m gonna make this for my mom. Thank you!

[@ribusgan]

We're from Kolkata, India. We spent a month in the UK earlier this year for a holiday. A 9 day Scottish sojourn was over of the highlights of the trip. Since then I've fallen in love with the Scottish accent!! ❤

[@richardc8738]

Now that winter is coming to Western Canada, I’m looking to my file of What’s for Tea recipes to fortify many cold nights. Thank you so much for posting.

[@stephenborland4749]

Fellow Scot here from the east. I made it today following your recipe using the ingredients I had to hand and everyone enjoyed it very much. The key points I took were to almost caramelise the cabbage (I had red onions, red as well as savoy cabbage. Took longer than expected but worth the wait.) I also had the leaves and stalk of a cauliflour which I chopped and bolied with the potatoes. Other than that I followed your video closely and it turned out lovely. Scotlands answer to spanish tortilla?! Thank you very much.

[@carib6971]

Made it tonight with ham. Charred the cabbage just like you said. Absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much.

[@katerinamolnar2361]

Canadians here, looks absolutely delicious. Will try for sure. Thanks for sharing😊

[@Free2Fly2011]

Whoa! I want to try this with sausage!

[@gemellodipriapo]

My grandmother would add sausage and mushrooms. Thanks for the olive oil tip Cheryl!

What’s not to love! Potatoes, onions, cabbage, salty ham and cheddar. Definitely making this dish for dinner tomorrow and I subscribed to your channel. Rumbledethumps…a hug in a bowl!

My favourite meal is ham hock, potatoes and cabbage, tgen lentil soup made from the hock brine. OMG

[@jongoldman9279]

This is comfort food at its finest. I love the idea of browning the cabbage well. All that wonderful caramelization and flavor! Looking forward to preparing it.

[@maggiedonaldson8432]

This has been a favourite of ours for years, with crispy bacon added rather than the ham. We call it Baked Colcannon. Baked beans, and a slab of buttered crusty bread, are mandatory!

[@Ryanthefrugal]

Only just heard of Colcannon for the first time 3 days ago. googled what it was. now watching this i hear the word again haha love when that happens

We have something similar in Newfoundland only we do it with leftover jiggs dinner. We call it hash and it’s just fried up potato, turnip, carrot, cabbage and whatever meat we’ve had, typically chicken roast beef and salt meat.

[@sadmimikyu8807]

This warms my German heart! Glad your channel was recommended to me.

[@c.v.yardley]

In Germany I think there is something similar, called Dippekuchen. A Scottish friend of mine here in Germany makes rumbledethumps with sauerkraut instead of cabbage.

[@sadmimikyu8807]

@@c.v.yardley hm no Döppekooche is something else. It is closer to a dish from .. err Slovenia? ... no... somewhere in that corner. Hungary?

[@c.v.yardley]

@@sadmimikyu8807 It's not the same thing, of course, but the ingredients are similar. Here it's known as a Rhineland speciality, and in Saarland it's called Dibbelabbes. I don't know where it was originally from, but I found this: 'Der Döppekooche ist eine alte rheinische Spezialität und ein sogenannter Topfkuchen. „Döppe“ heißt Topf und „Kooche“ ist der Kuchen. Früher galt der Döppekooche auch als „Arme-Leute-Essen“ und wurde traditionell am St. -Martins-Fest aufgetischt, weil sich die einfachen Leute keine Martinsgans leisten konnten.'

[@sadmimikyu8807]

@@c.v.yardley erklärst du grade einem Kölner wat Döppekooche is? Da ist kein Kohl drin, sondern Mettwursg und ggf. Speck. Und die Kartoffeln sind gerieben. Zwei paar Schuh.

[@c.v.yardley]

@@sadmimikyu8807 Nein, aber ich habe jahrelang in Wiesbaden gewohnt, und hatte Freunde aus dem Westerwald, die öfter 'Dippekuchen' als Spezialität aus ihrer Heimat serviert haben. Es heißt überall anders, und wird bestimmt auch unterschiedlich zubereitet. Ich bin sowieso Ausländerin, also bleibe ich bei den Versionen aus meinen beiden Heimatländern - Bubble & Squeak and Colcannon, und auch Rumbledethumps, wenn es sein muss 😅

This good Scottish American loves me some ham, potatoes, and cheese, and adding cabbage sounds divine!

[@TheresaDavenport-i5d]

This looks delicious! I too love charring my cabbage. I thought I was the only one. Like you said, it adds such a great flavor. I would make this but hubby hates cooked cabbage. One night I'll make it just for me.

[@mallymakings2853]

Oooh, this looks delicious. I’m born and bred in England but my heart belongs in Scotland. Thank you for sharing this. I’ll most definitely be trying this. I’m going to Scotland shortly to stay with my Scottish friend. I’d like to surprise her with this dish. I hope you have a lovely weekend and again, thank you. 💙💙💙

Made this last week with smoked bacon, leeks, broccoli, spuds and cheese sauce. Never knew it was called that though!

Rumbledethumps is just the best word. Guess you could easily make this veggie without the ham.

I have got the ingredients in my fridge so I will make it. Watching from the fruit growing and wine region of British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦.

[@dattaxpony920]

Hello Cheryl! This looks fantastic! I've heard so many chefs on TV say browning = flavour, so it totally makes sense to develop that deep brown on the cabbage. Plus it's developing the flavour on the onions as well. I might be American born with Canadian roots, but coming home after a long day eating lentil soup and watching your video has made me feel a tiny bit Scottish and also has relaxed me so much. Thank you for making this wee little corner of KZbin amazing Cheryl.

Thanks for sharing this, and like others I could listen to your gorgeous accent all day. We had this growing up with English dad and grandparents. The bubble-n-squeak was fried up, & had any left over veges, although often extra was made on purpose ready. A favourite with us, and the frying pan crust bits mixed back in a few times made it so good!

I didn’t know this dish had such an amazing name. I haven’t made any from scratch in ages. I will use sprouts at this time of year. If I have left over roast potatoes from Christmas dinner I’ll use those for extra crunch. I generally have a chicken at Christmas if there’s any of that left it goes in.
