My mum used to make it every year on boxing day, but I haven't had it since I was a bairn. I chopped up some leftover sprouts that needed to be used up with half a baked potato I cooked as extra last night, to justify the cost of using the oven. Mashed them in a bowl with a pinch of flour then fried in a small pan on one side, to form the shape, then flipped into my bigger pan to cook the other side while I was frying the egg.
Did I make bubble and squeak? Does this count? It made the noise!
Two tattie scones under the black pudding, so I guess that makes this a Scots/Cockney fusion fry-up? No bacon or sausages because I couldn't be arsed going to the shop yet.
