Before traveling to England my roommate's boyfriend told me, "You HAAAVE to eat Bangers & Mash."
You want me to eat WHAT now?
So I did some research and learned that Bangers & Mash is traditional English pub food made of sausages and mashed potatoes drenched in an onion gravy. That settled my mind quite a bit as I was thinking the worst (brains and cow guts were just a few of the thoughts swirling in my head).
Just before my friend and I toured Stonehenge we stopped at a nearby pub to indulge in some pub grub. The pub had a cute little restaurant area, and the menu included Bangers & Mash! Score! Still suffering from jet lag, I paired it with coffee instead of beer (don't judge).
I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the dish, especially since I am not typically a huge fan of mashed potatoes or sausages.
For the record, Mom, if you're reading, I ate most of my veggies too!
