I looked them up:

Dictionary

bubble and squeak

ORIGIN late 18th cent.: from the sounds of the mixture cooking.

Dictionary

colcannon
noun

ORIGIN late 18th cent.: from cole ; the origin of the second element is
uncertain but it is said that cannonballs were used to pound such
vegetables as spinach.
