In Wales we have a tradition of mashing things together as a dish or 
side dish:

In North Wales this is known as "Stwns".  for example:

	"Stwns Rwdan a Iau" (liver and onions, served with swedes and 
	                   potatoes mashed up together)
	
	"Stwns ffa" (potatoes and broad beans mashed together)
	"Stwns pys" (potatoes and peas mashed up together)

In South Wales the swede and potato combination is known as "potch"
so we have "Potch Erfyn" (potatoes and Swedes mached up together)
 
	NOTE: In America swedes or "erfyn" as they're known in Welsh 
	      are "Rutabagas", and originally I dare say turnips were  
              used instead of potatoes in these dishes).

In and around London there is a popular "Cockney" dish served for 
breakfast which is combined like this also it's called "Bubble and 
Squeak" which is composed of potatoes mashed up with peas and cabbage 
and fried.  Usually it's eaten for breakfast.  

I wonder if anyone has heard of any other cultures with this type of 
traditional "mashed up together" combination dish? 

Is it a Celtic thing, whether in Cockney London or Wales?  Is it 
commonly done?  And I wonder where and when it originated - if it's 
possible to sort that out!

Any ideas?
