Oh, no you don’t. How 'bout you close out the thread by telling the rest of us just what colcannon is?  
[/QUOTE]

Basic mashed potatoes with chopped boiled kale mixed in.

(I love leeks, but I only know a few things to do with them. This is one!

Roomie cobbled together a soup that turned out to basically be cockie-leekie soup. I like leeks, but have never cooked with them myself. I’ll have to give the soup a try.

What was the Welshman doing beside the road? Having a leek.

Oh, now! Be nice. It’s perfectly good mashed potatoes made delectable with the addition of steamed or boiled chopped cabbage…  
[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that’s where it goes wrong for me. I hate cabbage. Even the smell, so don’t you start steaming the stuff!
