Where did you live? I have also seen it made with cabbage but 'proper' Colcannon was always made with Curly Kale - about the only time of the year we ever encountered that vegetable! (

Also in the movie "In America"(I think that's it's name...) they eat Colcannon and they specifically list curly kale as the green vegetable- obviously it's just a movie and hence only one person's variation, but it's the reference people are most likely to have heard of if they've never had colcannon themself.

Well, look on it a a photo of a bag of Halloween spuds. Part of the festivities! Imagine you're blindfolded, trying to bite an apple bobbing in a tub of water and you get the spud...ugh!(

I'm in Southwestern Germany (Rhineland-Palatinate), and we have the same dish here under the name of "Wirsing" (literally "savoy cabbage"). A typical way to serve that is to mix mashed potatoes with savoy cabbage (or kale, if savoy is unavailable). Sometimes, savoy or kale are served alone, but with mashed potatoes it's more common (to give it a lighter taste).

It is similar to the modern version of the English dish,
bubble and squeak. In Atlantic Canada (especially Nova Scotia and Newfoundland), a local version of the dish is popular among those raised in rural communities. Brought to the provinces by Irish and Scottish settlers, the recipe consists of potatoes, milk, butter, diced carrots and turnip mashed together. This gives it a distinct orange and white colour (as opposed to the green of the Irish version). Some also add onions, garlic and even chopped up bacon. It is routinely served during large holiday meals like
Christmas,
New Years Eve, Robbie
Burns night and Canadian
Thanksgiving.
