I had seen this 16th century painting often, but did not make the connection

ALMOST EVERY HOLIDAY COMES WITH its own accompanying foodstuff. For Thanksgiving, it is turkey; for Hanukkah, donuts filled with a thick plug of sweetened jelly, or latkes. Many Muslims break their Ramadan fast each day with dates; people in Japan greet the New Year with mochi and soba noodles. Easter treats seem self-evident: chocolate, eggs, chocolate eggs. But for hundreds of years, the English ate something entirely different at Easter: a sweet, herbal concoction—somewhere between a pancake and an omelette—known as a tansy.

Be glad, the English like Eel jelly and fish head pie.
I guess you could have bubble and squeak (a leftovers hash) but who knows

Been there (but not during the 16 century); months of starting the day pigging out. Dat shite just never gets old.

I guess bubble and squeak is the closest thing they have to scattered, smothered and covered.
