What does FADGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Irishdialect
A flat, round loaf of bread made from mashed potato and flour, traditionally fried and eaten as part of a cooked breakfast in Ireland.
Fadge is best known as another name for potato bread or potato farl, cut into wedges and fried alongside eggs, bacon, and sausage in a traditional Ulster fry. The same word also survives as an old dialect verb meaning to fit, suit, or turn out well, as in a plan that simply would not fadge. Both senses trace back to regional British and Irish speech rather than to standard English vocabulary.
