Champ (brúitín in Irish) is an Irish dish,[1] made by combining mashed potatoes and chopped scallion with butter, milk, cheese and optionally, salt and pepper. The traditional inclusion of cheese into the recipe is no longer followed in Ulster. [2] As recently as the mid-20th century it was sometimes made with stinging nettle rather than scallions but this is rarely seen now. It is simple and inexpensive to produce. In some areas the dish is also called "poundies[3]".[citation needed]
Champ is similar to another Irish dish, colcannon, which uses kale or cabbage in place of scallions.
The word champ has also been adopted into the popular Hiberno-English phrases, to be "as thick as champ", meaning to be stupid, and to be "as ignorant as champ at a wedding", meaning to be uncultured or boorish (champ being a common everyday dish, not one befitting a banquet celebration).[citation needed]
