What food would you say is your specialty?
Hmm..
Me a speciality?
There’s just stuff I can make.
Perhaps I should develop one
How bout bubble and squeak?
Perfect the dish and specialise
Become the best there is.
Perhaps a secret gourmet twist
To good old bubble and squeak.
Perhaps you‘re not familiar
With this brilliant dish
You make it with the left overs
Serve it with cold meat.
You mix cold mash potatoes
With cabbage or sliced sprouts
Bang it in a frying pan
And fry the whole lot up.
You fry it till it’s good and dry
You turn the burnt bits in
Get it crispy, flavourful
Then turn it out the pan.
I don’t know bout the gourmet bit
I guess it’s in the oil
Something posh, goose fat perhaps
And other stuff like Kale.
Sadly I’m no brilliant cook
Will probably mess it up
But if I need a specialty
Best be a simple one.
