Who can give me the recipe of it,must be irish with such a name.
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 :)
I always make the sausages in a thick onion gravy and pour it over the mash :P
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????
We bake our bangers, and always have it with fried onions, mounds of mashed potatoes, beans and gravy..........slurp!
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!!! :)
THank you so much for all the response,here is an other one i want to know IRISH STEW.
This is the recipe I always use.......but I put mixed herbs in my dumplings! :D

bangers and mash - we always put ours with onion gravy and some sort of greens served inside a big yorkshire pudding.

Ruud you planning a whole British party or something? :)
I have some gaelic friends,so wenn we have them to eat or with a party,i would like to cook for them.I am so and so a little bit anglicized or better gaelicized.
Thanks to this thread, we ended up having toad in the hole tonight, with onion gravy and mash! And delish it was too! ;D
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!)
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
surely you mean 'frog in a ditch?'
Anyone enjoy Snake and Pygmy pie? ;)
Not me of course :-X I dont eat meat.
Great minds and all that, had just taken my bangers out of the freezer for tea tonight!!!!
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.
Teresa that black beer is cold guiness,and yes you need it inside and beside the dish
Oh Rudd,
had a blonde moment and could not remember how to spell it ha ha
Just caught this thread. I like to have onions with my bangers and mash. Slow roasted red onions and shallots with whole garlic cloves, skin on, roasted with olive oil a sprinkling of brown sugar and 3 -4 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. I also use an old potatoe ricer to ensure i do not get any lumps in my mash, the kids will not eat mash made from anywhere else now. Highly embaressing when at the inlaws and the youngest shouts out '.........eeeeeergh this mash is horrible, would rather have yours dad'. Still theres no accounting for taste. ;)
