Had it on both of my trips to England ('05 & '06). Nothing cures a hangover better! That was before I quit pork, though. The asparagus is an interesting side. Nothing like being hungover and having weird smelling urine. What's to drink with this dish, by the way?
Four pints o' Guinness, of course.
I keep thinking if this scene...
I dare ask... but why are they called bangers?
No clue. Only thing I know is, it uses filler (bread crumbs).
I did a Googly thing and found out that during WWI meat was scarce in England that they filled the casing with more junk than meat when making sausages, and they were known to explode (BANG) in the pot when they boiled them. Which of course, begs the question, why were they boiling sausages? Is that an English thing?
Oh, yes, boiling was the only way to cook almost anything if you go back far enough in English "cuisine". Food prep is magnitudes better now in most places.
And, yeah, they're still called Bangers.
Lot of people still boil sausage before grilling them. The pizza parlor I used to go to back in NYC will boil them in the oven before browning them on grill. Some suggest boiling bratwurst in water with onion before grilling. Not really sure why. Maybe cause most are made with pork and to cook thoroughly?
I wouldn't mind a plate or two of that!!
I had a bowl of Shepherds Pie with lamb today. I thought about bangers and mash but the lamb won out.
That makes sense. Also, it removes a bit of grease and oils that can be discarded if you throw the water out before it boils away. I do that sometimes with bacon.
A classic ribsticker. Make it all the time with all the moose sausage on hand.
Love me some bangers and mash, steak and kidney pie, and of course pasties, but if I had to pick one english meal above all, it would be the full english breakfast. I know there are variations, but I make mine with beans, bacon, sausage, black bread fried in bacon grease, blood sausage if i can get it (if not moose sausage), fried eggs, potatoes, and of course fried tomato slices with salt and pepper.
A hangover cure if there ever was one. My Scotch-Irish heritage prevents me from heaping praise on the english all too often, but thats one thing they sure got right.

Sounds more like the lamb lost.
I remember my first time in Chicago and watching a street vender boiling hot dogs. I had never seen someone boil meats. It seemed very weird to me. I had never though to boil a sausage before grilling it, but it sounds plausible. I may have to try it.
This was the most interesting thing I learned all day. Thanks for passing that along.
And, I was most surprised that it didn't have anything to do with sex.
English sex is the worst kind anyway. It's just as well.And, I was most surprised that it didn't have anything to do with sex.
