Champ (food)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Champ (brúitín in Irish) is an Irish dish of mashed potatoes and scallions. In some areas the dish is also called "poundies". Champ is a simple warming dish which is cheap, easy to produce and very filling.
The word champ has also been adopted into a popular Irish phrase, to be "as thick as champ", meaning to be stupid.
