Oh lord my boys fav meal.
Pork sausages fried in a pan slowly then potatoes mashed up with loads of butter and a splash of milk.
The mashed potatoes piled up like a mountain in the middle of the plate and the sausages stacked up against the mountain.
I use to heat some baked beans and that would be poured over the mountain to trickle down.
The old pork sausages if you did not put a fork in them first use to explode in the pan hence the name bangers came from I think.
Thanks Ruud thats taken me back years.

I used to have to do sausage and mash like that for my son who used to read the Three Bears in the Beano.  Yummy  :)

[honeybee]

I always make the sausages in a thick onion gravy and pour it over the mash  :P

[Hot_Potato]

I do mine the same as honeybee but add mushrooms usually (but not always) to the thick onion gravy..... :P

An absolute favourite meal....H.P.

Yummmmmmmmm  ;D

This is making me hungry - we have ours like a shepherds pie - Lincolnshire sausages, onions, mushrooms in gravy with the mash (lots of butter) on top.

guess what we'll be having for dinner tonight????

[Doris_Pinks]

We bake our bangers, and always have it with fried onions, mounds of mashed potatoes, beans and gravy..........slurp!

[Lazybones]

Now I'm starving.  I always add slowly cooked onions and cheese to my mash and the put it in the oven to go all crusty - and I always serve it with baked beans.  Off to go and cook that now - I wish!!!  :)

Thanks to this thread, we ended up having toad in the hole tonight, with onion gravy and mash! And delish it was too! ;D

[kitty]

haha!we call bangers and mash-three bears-or as it has got o be down the years-'can we have three tonite?'lol!
and 'shall we have a toad for tea?'causes raised eyebrows from listening shoppers!!
kitty(licking gravy from chin-onion gravy of course!)

[MissBaritone]

For bangers and mash we just stick the sausages in a casserole dish with onions and gravy and cook them that way.

As for toad in the hole we decided years ago it looked nothing like toads in a hole so we renamed it slugs in the sand and the name still sticks today

[BAGGY]

surely you mean 'frog in a ditch?'

[maz]

Anyone enjoy Snake and Pygmy pie?  ;)

Not me of course  :-X  I dont eat meat.

[supernan]

Great minds and all that, had just taken my bangers out of the freezer for tea tonight!!!!

[teresa]

Irish Stew.
thats the one you use the black beer with a white head just pour it in. Another up north they use Newcastle Brown Ale in a stew or you can make it into a pie dead expensive in restraunts. Latter one is good.

judging from the enthusiastic response on this thread p'raps bangers and mash should be national dish!  Would get my vote.
