A Typical Dish Served in Irish Pubs

The Bangers and Mash belong to the family of what is called “Pub Grub”, dishes that are mostly served in Irish Pubs.

This is one of the main dishes served in most Pubs (along with Irish Stew and Fish and Chips). This dish costs on average 7 to 8€ per person, and is traditionally served on a base of 3 sausages, and a creamy mashed potato to taste. Don’t be surprised if this dish is very high in fat and potatoes: the Irish are fond of rich dishes that go down quickly, and their love of potatoes is centuries old!

Serve it with a good pint of stout (brown Irish beer), and then you can enjoy this simple but delicious dish!

Very appreciated by the Irish, the Bangers and Mash has the advantage of being a nourishing dish that fits small budgets. Also, count about 6 to 7€ per person if you wish to have it served in a pub. (If you wish to have it served at home, the price will only be reduced)

Traditionally, the Bangers and Mash uses :

• sausages (pork, beef or other)
• potato
• onion
• a tomato or carrot

There are of course variants made on the basis of exotic sausages (a little more expensive than traditional sausages), or on the basis of vegetables (carrots, tomatoes, courgettes, etc.). Also, the Irish often like to season their dishes with vinegar (the Irish like to combine the taste of potatoes with the acidity of vinegar): the taste is striking!
