This wonderful word comes from ‘rumbled’ meaning mixed or mashed and ‘thumped’ meaning to be beaten down. The dish itself is said to originate in the border region of Scotland; there are, of course, various versions.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (425 g) potatoes, peeled and boiled
  • 1 lb (450

Method

While the potatoes are boiling, in a separate saucepan boil the cabbage and onion together until just tender. Melt the butter and mash the potatoes, cabbage and onion together. Sprinkle with the cheese and brown under a grill.
