Irish Food
Bangers
Another word for sausages, bangers are an Irish favorite in both pubs and homes. The name is rumored to date from World War II when pork was rationed, and so resourceful sausage makers supplemented their supply by adding breadcrumbs and extra water to the traditional sausage mixture. Because of the additional water, the sausages had a tendency to explode witha loud "bang!" when cooked. Now the name bangers has been expanded to include all Irish sausages, including those made with beef. Bangers are often served with mashed potatoes, creating the ultimate Irish comfort food combination, bangers and mash.
I have an exciting reminder to send out today. Don't forget that St. Patrick's Day is coming! Make sure you go and visit my friends from the Irishfest who will be marching in the Brookside parade. They will be handing out loads of candy to all the kids who are there to cheer my friends on! This is always a fun day and candy makes the celebration!!!
