From further down

"The Dutch also have a dish that is similar called stamppot boerenkool,
made from potatoes and kale mashed together with milk, butter, salt, and
pepper, and often served or cooked with a large sausage. A condiment of
pickled pearl onions is common."


For those who don't want to be accused of eating bubble at breakfast
then try the good old fashioned Summer Monday Dinner of Cold Beef,
bubble and a good sized pickled onion, or three.
