SippitySup: thank you Greg, a gent as always!

Chef E: I will listen :) And I would be very happy if any of this found its way into one of your poems!

Tangled Noodle: It’s an interesting idea – what are the top food porn indicators… I guess crispy brown bits would be right up there! And it is indeed a complete meal – the way I eat it anyhow :)

I’ll take a plate of this, please! The browned, crispy bits look so good- porn star good, I dare say. The fact that this dish is described as both a ‘cake’ and a ‘sandwich’ makes it a complete meal for me!

Greg is wise, so listen :O)

Also, the first line…might find its way into one of my poems, and how many times have I thought that very same thing, and on the whole post theme…

[...] Not overly attractive, but like my friend DS over at The Daily Spud, I don’t hide from my ugly foodie forays. I celebrate them. As long as they’re tasty, anyway. And this chili was Absolutely [...]

I think you are making a potato mountain out of a spud mole hill, because those taters look gorgeous!GREG

kickpleat: yes, mush is good – reminds me of childhood things too!

OysterCulture: good question on the bacon – if it’s not actually in the colcannon (and traditionally, it’s not), it’s definitely elsewhere on the same plate – bacon, spuds and cabbage is the quintessential Irish dinner

VeggieGirl: my mush blushes :D

jenn: absolutely, I’ve eaten some pretty tasty mushes in my time :)

game: you’re welcome!

Sophie: always nice to be reminded that a few simple ingredients can make for a very tasty meal

Jenni: indeed, it was not the Clooney of Colcannons, but you have now gotten me thinking about what it would take to produce such a thing (a better non-stick pan, for a start!); meanwhile I look forward to meeting your chili, even if not Redford-like, it will be Jenni-like and I can never say no to that

Natasha: simple but indeed tasty :)

gastroanthropologist: I am drooling at the thought of an All Clad non-stick pan, especially now that I am back in the market for such a thing… I am also drooling at the thought of a fried egg to top that potato cake off, perfect

Duo Dishes: indeed, looks sure aren’t everything in the food world – see Jenni’s snail comment above for starters :D

Hotdog eat hotdog. Ha! Nothing wrong with something that may seem unphotogenic. If it tasted good, we can’t judge!

Non-sticks sticking! Ugh. My non-stick all-clad (one of my most prized possessions) is use nearly every time I cook. It’s over five years old and has moved with with me nearly as many times. It is just beginning to show signs of non-stick sticking and I am utterly heartbroken.

So, I had a mashed potato and kale cake similar to this the other day…it came on top of bacon (the meaty british sort) and a fried egg on top. It was so delicious, but I think the addition of your onion in the potato cake would put it over the top.

Sounds absolutely delicious, I can’t wait to try this specialty!

You are truly the queen of All Things Potato! And very brave for posting your less-attractive-than-George-Clooney mushy, mushy colcannon pie thingy. I think it sounds divine, and while Foodie Canon states that we eat with our eyes first, it really is the flavor/texture/aroma that’s the most important. Besides, if we all ate with our eyes first, nobody would ever have decided that snails were food. So there.

You have inspired me: I shall be posting a less-attractive-than-Robert-Redford chili today! :)
