Recipe(tried): Rumbledethumps (Scottish, mashed potatoes with cabbage)

G'day Tanis, This is a scottish dish and certainly tastes a whole lot better than it sounds. It contains no meat, but a couple of rashers of bacon, fried and chopped or pieces of cooked chicken can be added if you like. It is also very economical, wonderful for the day prior to pay-day.
