London "Bangers" & Mash with Onion Gravy

What's the big idea?
"Bangers" is a term for English sausages; the name is believed to come from the habit of sausages bursting in the pan with a "bang" if cooked too quickly. Bangers and Mash is quick and easy to make, is an extremely popular meal in English pubs, and is also great favorite with children. There's no strict rule about what sausages you use - just use ones you like (or like the sound of), and enjoy!
