Like many Irish dishes, colcannon is a very nourishing meal! It is a thick purée cooked with potatoes, cabbage, butter, milk, and onions.
A real delight for a fairly economical budget!
It is notably served on Halloween (named Samain), or on cold winter days.
It is traditional to hide a clean piece in the mashed potatoes: whoever finds it on his plate will be lucky for the next few days! A kind of equivalent of our galette des rois, so to speak!
