Bangers & Mash – a cheap and tasty pub meal

The traditional pub counter meal is usually a chicken parmy, a snitzel, a mixed grill or a favourite of our Bangers and Mash. Originating from England bangers were a colloquial name for sausages and sure are tasty. The bangers and mash as the name suggests are grilled sausages onto of a bed of mashed potato then covered in rich gravy. If you are really lucky your pub might even add caramelised onions with the gravy to make it even tastier. The some of the earliest bangers and mash on the menu date back to around 1919 when English Pubs invented this quick to prepare and cheap dish. There are quiet a few variants of bangers and mash and it usually  has to do with the sausage type- some of  the new fancy pubs and bars are experimenting with gourmet sausage varieties which will keep the dish popular for decades to come.
