The game of dodgy explanations

Part of the free online games and puzzle collection provided by William Maclean's Games.

Pick the real explanation of the following phrase:

"BUBBLE AND SQUEAK"

This English dish of re-heated potatoes and greens is called bubble and squeak because:

(A) It was named after two comic strip characters who gained special powers from eating the mixture.

(B)The potatoes bubbled in the saucepan when originally cooked and then squeaked when later fried.

(C) The upper classes viewed it as a delicacy and often served it with champagne at 'Bubbly squeak' parties. The peasants discovered that the dish was a useful way to re-serve leftover food and the name stuck in it's present format.
