  • Captain Kangaroo. Does Anyone Know About Him?

    I was doing a food quiz at Fun Trivia and one of the answers available on a question was "Bubble and Squeak", so I ran a Google search.
    It's taken me around 50 years to find out that what Bunny Rabbit was cooking, and as I remember, Mr. Moose kept taking out the ingredients,in that kettle on Capt. Kangaroo was real stuff and not just a goofy song.
    "Skittely gumbo, huff and puff, bubble and squeak, and we cook them all together 'till it's good to eat."
    Shiiit.


    Bubble and squeak (sometimes just called bubble) is a traditional English dish made with the shallow-fried leftover vegetables from a roast dinner. ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_and_squeak.


    "Bubble 'n' Squeak
    By: DOREENF
    "Cabbage, bacon, ham, onion and leftover potatoes make up this tasty, easy dish. This is a great way to get the kids to eat cabbage. Using leftovers makes this main dish especially quick to make. I recommend using a good nonstick pan. Serve with ketchup, if desired."



    Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
    Ingredients
    1/2 medium head cabbage, sliced
    3 slices bacon, diced
    1 onion, thinly sliced
    1 cup cubed cooked ham
    1 tablespoon butter
    3 cups potatoes - baked, cooled and thinly sliced
    1/2 teaspoon paprika
    salt and pepper to taste
    Directions
    In a medium saucepan, cook cabbage in a small amount of water for about 5 minutes, or until tender. Drain, and set aside.
    In a well-seasoned cast iron skillet, cook bacon and onion until onion is soft and bacon is cooked. Add ham, and cook until heated through. Add butter, then mix in the cooked cabbage and potatoes. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned on bottom, turn, and brown again."

    No. Does he also run some courts?

      Most boomers will have memories of the good Captain.
      Some of the cartoons were classics. CLUTCH CARGO was the spooky cartoon that used still shots with moving lips. Similar in style with Space Angel.

                Kind of weird b/c I was thinking of Bozo the Clown earlier today. My kid dropped a tissue in the garbage can and I uttered "You got bucket #1!"

                    When I was a kid Captain Kangaroo didn't have Clutch Cargo, instead he had Mighty Mouse, and Tom Terrific and his Wonderdog Manfred. I particularily like the episodes where Tom batted the alien robots from Munimula - because I had figured out what the name spelled backwards.

                      Wow, for us it was the early 60's when we watched it. I didn't realize that you were that much older.
