We have our Jigg's Dinner without the meat and pudding. It's still quite good that way. We use sesame oil to add flavor in the absence of the meat. Then, the next day (that was yesterday for us), JtS makes bubble and squeak with the leftovers (he fries them up with onions).   mmmmmm bubble and squeak mmmmm...

Someone (can't remember who) once told me that the name 'Jigg's Dinner' came from a comic strip character named Jigg (or Jiggs) who likes to eat this kind of boiled dinner. If so, I guess it might be more correct for me to spell it Jiggs' Dinner.
