The other key ingredient in Bangers and Mash is onion gravy. We’ve had bangers and mash in many a pub and restaurant throughout the UK and have experienced some truly excellent onion gravies as well as the very worst that tasted little more than salty brown water.
That said, any number of sausage varieties can be and are served with bangers and mash including one known as Cumberland sausage. Whether you’re a beginning or an expert sausage maker, making your own homemade British bangers is well worth the effort.
While the term “bangers” can refer to a variety of different sausages, in the homemade sausage-making world the term “bangers” has come to be associated with a particular blend of seasonings and key ingredients, including ground mace and breadcrumbs, giving them a unique flavor and texture.
