On his recent visit, my dad told me about his mother making a stew called slumgullion.
I looked it up and found it was a common word.
He also mentioned a simple recipe made of milk and flour (that the family would eat with bread and cheese) called "sibble sabble." I haven't found anything online (yet) to believe that name isn't made up.
