Recipe of the Month: Bangers & Mash

Bangers and mash, one of the most popular dishes in contemporary Great Britain and Ireland, is an unusual treat in the United States, and the mystique is only increased by the meal's unusual and evocative name. Sausages in the United Kingdom have colloquially been called “bangers” since the World War I era, when food rationing measures led to the production of cheap sausages with fillers that would pop when fried in a pan.

While sausage quality in the UK is no longer artificially suppressed by wartime rationing, cultural differences in relative leanness and spicing of sausage make this popular British and Irish pub dish somewhat difficult to replicate perfectly this side of the Atlantic. Cumberland, Lincolnshire, or Irish sausages make for the most authentic bangers and mash.
