HOW TO COOK SIMPLE BANGERS AND MASH

How To Cook Simple Bangers And Mash –Here is another English dish, it is called Bangers and Mash which is actually a combination of sausages and mashed potatoes. Its name is a funny name for a serious food. Commonly used is the Cumberland sausage because many find it best for this dish. Bangers and Mash is sometimes served with onion gravy, or fried onions, peas and beans.

This dish is commonly served in many fast food chains all over the country and that is why Bangers and Mash is called British Working-class dish. Back in college, I had a British friend who I used to hang out with. He taught me how to cook Banger and Mash in his flat. I was amazed that this dish could be that simple and easy to cook. Although there are many types of this dish, I still managed to make my very own version of this dish and I made it simple because not most of us would like to spend little bit more than what we ought to spend for food. In this recipe, I did not use the Cumberland sausage but you can use your ordinary sausage. Try to replace other ingredients if you fell like not using that particular ingredient but make sure you would not ruin the taste. Here is how to cook simple Bangers and Mash:
