Next Dish: Kissar

Bangers and Mash is a traditional British dish consisting of sausages (bangers) served with mashed potatoes (mash). The dish is often accompanied by onion gravy, peas, or baked beans. The term "bangers" is believed to have originated during World War I, when meat shortages led to sausages being made with a high water content, causing them to explode or "bang" when cooked. Bangers and Mash is considered comfort food and is commonly served in pubs across the UK.
