I commentd out the Hungarian dish halushki, but with the addition of mashed potatoes as colcannon is mainly potatoes the two dishes can hardly be similar.--JBellis 18:07, 5 November 2005 (UTC)


I've always known Colcannon as containing cabbage, not kale...? 72.70.250.57 22:04, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

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! (Sarah777 00:14, 18 March 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Recipe

Nice try with the photo of a recipe, but recipes belong over on Wikibooks:Cookbook - they are specifically excluded from Wikipedia (see WP:ISNOT#HOWTO) and should be transwikied to the Cookbook. Could do with a Wiki-licensed photo of the actual dish though. FlagSteward 21:11, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

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!(Sarah777 21:23, 1 October 2007 (UTC))
