'Champ' (''brúitín'' in
Irish) is an
Irish dish, made by combining
mashed potatoes and chopped
scallions (spring onions) with butter and milk, and optionally, salt and pepper. It is simple and inexpensive to produce. In some areas the dish is also called "poundies."
Champ is similar to the Irish dish
Colcannon, which uses
kale or
cabbage in place of scallions.
The word champ has also been adopted into a popular Irish phrase, to be "as thick as champ", meaning to be stupid.
