About Bangers and Mash

Bangers and Mash is a classic British meal of sausages served on creamy mashed potatoes and covered in onion gravy. It is a favorite pub dish and home-cooked comfort food.

The word "bangers" is said to come from the First World War, when meat shortages meant sausages were filled with more water, which made them pop and bang when fried. Classic British sausages include Cumberland and Lincolnshire.

The mash is made with butter and milk, and the gravy is cooked from slowly caramelized onions and stock. It is often served with peas, and is a popular meal in pubs throughout the UK and Ireland.
