Bangers and mash
Perhaps you were a bit perplexed when I said the meat options at the baby shower were lamb, chicken and bangers. Bangers? What are bangers?
Bangers = sausage. British and Irish sausage to be exact. What distinguishes bangers from their American cousins? I have no idea. According to WiseGeek: “Bangers are much larger than the traditional US breakfast sausage. They are usually equivalent in length to a hot dog, but are about twice the width.” Haha, sorry.
Bangers are a popular pub food in the UK and are traditionally served atop a bed of mashed potatoes to create a dish known as bangers and mash. So there’s that.
