Bubble &amp; Squeak earned its name from the sounds made as vegetables sizzled in giant iron pans over open fires. Over time, what began as a practical meal became a tavern favourite, with travellers often requesting it specifically whenever they passed through the market district. To this day, many Copper Dragon inns consider a good Bubble &amp; Squeak the mark of a skilled cook. \ud83d\udfe4\ud83d\udc09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The bustling taverns of Rivermarket are famous for turning yesterday&#8217;s leftovers into today&#8217;s feast.
