Irish Food
Bangers
Another word for sausages, bangers are an Irish favorite in both pubs and homes. The name is rumored to date to 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 tendency to explode with a 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.
