Bangers and Mash

Bangers and Mash is a traditional British comfort food consisting of sausages (bangers) served alongside mashed potatoes (mash). The sausages are typically made from pork, beef, or veal and are pan-fried or grilled until browned. The dish is often accompanied by onion gravy, peas, and sometimes vegetables or pickles. It’s a hearty, satisfying meal that highlights simple ingredients and comforting flavors, popular in pubs and homes across the UK. The name “bangers” originated from the explosive sounds of the sausages frying during wartime.
