Hello Folks!
I hope I find you all well. Tonight I’m making Rumbledethumps! You may not have heard of it before…It’s a traditional dish from the Scottish Borders.
The main ingredients are potato, cabbage and onion. Similar to Irish colcannon, and English bubble and squeak, it is either served as an accompaniment to a main dish or as a main dish itself. It’s so tasty….and a wonderfully filling comfort food!
There aren’t really any set quantities of the individual ingredients, it’s really a matter of personal preference, but I’ve listed below what I’ve used here….incase you want to give it a go!
You can add all sorts of things to this to suit your own taste and dietary requirements.

Serves 4 (depending on portion size)
5 -6 Good sized Potatoes – I used Maris Piper, a dry floury potato is best!
50g (1.7 oz) Butter
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 Spring onions, sliced
2 Good handfuls of grated cheese – I used mature Cheddar
Half a head of cabbage, shredded
200g (7 oz) Shredded ham – I used smoked ham hock
1 Large onion, chopped

I don’t eat pork, so I’m sitting here wondering if a little bit of corned beef might be nice in place of the ham? I think it might.
Fellow Scot here from the east. I made it today following your recipe using the ingredients I had to hand and everyone enjoyed it very much. The key points I took were to almost caramelise the cabbage (I had red onions, red as well as savoy cabbage. Took longer than expected but worth the wait.) I also had the leaves and stalk of a cauliflour which I chopped and bolied with the potatoes. Other than that I followed your video closely and it turned out lovely. Scotlands answer to spanish tortilla?! Thank you very much.
Absolutely delicious
I have made this three times, this winter. Thanks for posting this!
Clinched it with recommendation of pickled beets as accompaniment – sounds like perfect balance to a really rich (good) dish. Will be making while it’s still subzero outside 🙂
That looks delicious and I love your wonderful accent!
This is brand new betterbee ….goes down well with apple pie and custard ,,,,then finish off with the got to have large bottle of coke and the biggest bar of Cadbury I can find ,,,,,,,,,then later my favourite Netflix tuck in to the doughnuts I’ve hidden from the kids ..
John 3
New King James Version
The New Birth
3 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”
3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born [a]again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
9 Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?”
10 Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? 11 Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man [b]who is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should [c]not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
I want to make this yummy dish just to say it’s fun name 😂
My goodness! That looks delicious ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good concise recipe showing essential steps without the tedious chopping of every potato, every onion ad nauseum !
I’ll be making this. Love the ham addition – definitely how to do it. Beetroot suggestion great.
That looks delicious. I will be trying this one.

This good Scottish American loves me some ham, potatoes, and cheese, and adding cabbage sounds divine!
Ex-Dundee boy. Love your recipes. Sent from NZ!
I like how many beutiful, amazing dishes Scotland has, and still most Scottish people eat unhygienic low quality indian take away food. I think there should me more authentic Scottish takeaways/restaurants in Scotland. Every time I go for holiday in small Scottish town I’m blown away by the customer service, warmth and quality in most town restaurants.
Rumbledethumps 8s the most Scottish sounding thing ever.

"Do what you ❤️🐍🤓🧧🇨🇦💯"Love. Love what you do! "
My mouth is watering!!
Thank you so much! It’s a lot like the smothered cabbage I made when I lived in New Orleans. The main difference is that uses pickled pork. Thank you!
Ann & I have been making a few of your recipes and I thought I would give this one a try. I did not see how hot your oven was so I’m thinking 375 degrees F., should give me that nice golden brown on top after 30 minutes. Great video thumbs up.
Back in the late 60s I was apprentice to a French Chef and later a Swiss one. I know and love that art but today I look for regional dishes from around the world revealed by youtube. Not quite ready for haggis yet but rumbledethumps sounds great. Thanks!
Looks yummy!
Thinking about trying this one
I have this going in the oven for supper! I’m so excited!
Made this for the first time last week and it might be the best thing i have ever eaten , thank you
Will definitely be giving it a go !
This dish is very versatile, it’s wonderful with or without meat.I started making it last year and I absolutely love it. Besides I just love the name of it!
Amazing! Made it tonight with a spicy chicken sausage instead of ham (which would have been better I think) ! It was still great especially with the char- I crisped the top under the broiler-wonderful! Thanks!
I do like the way the cheese is actually browned, as opposed to just melted – which is so common ‘over the pond’.
at some point in the near future i plan on making this as a side dish for a nice sea bass steak 😀
Canadians here, looks absolutely delicious. Will try for sure. Thanks for sharing😊
This kraut is gonna have to make this lovely looking dish 😍
Your recipe looks absolutely amazing 👏 😍 😋. I actually brought this one to my husband’s attention. He has a Ham waiting in the Fridge to be prepared and teamed up with something… this would be perfect! I think he’ll make this for his Easter Brunch! Thanks for sharing and I saved it for future referencing again and again. ❤ to you and yours from the USA 🇺🇸 .
WOULD LAMB BE MORE TRADITIONAL THAN HAM?
This looks very hearthy and filling 😋 I wonder, could you use smoked salmon or smoked bacon instead of the shredded smoked ham?
Yum. I will try this. Looks delicious
Thanks for sharing! I’ll be trying this tonight. It seems like a great way to use up that the bits I have left from meals earlier in the week: cabbage, ham, leeks, and potatoes.
Good Winter warmer must make this recipe 😋
Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing.
We make something similar- Instead of caramelized cabbage, we use sour kraut- w/ tablespoons of Dijon mixed it- The sauerkraut is sautéed with onion in the Dijon. With mix that into the potato with diced up ham. And mash it up a little bit like you did and then to top it with a shredded nutty, soft swiss cheese.
This stuff is delicious! Soo deliscious!
This and a salad on a cold night is perfection.
I’m Cuban/American and I am going to give this a go! Looks delicious!
Thank you for your delicious Scottish dishes. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Looks scrumptious.
