It´s a typical food in England which consists on mash potatoes and sausages. It´s usually accompanied by fried onions. Kids love it and it is very easy to cook.
Why is this dish called in this way? The reason comes from the middle of the 20th century, specifically from the World War II. People usually did it because it is a plate that can be made with few ingredients and has a lot of vitamins, proteins and carbohydrates. We also have to bear in mind that in this period the population was under rationing so instead of meat, which was very expensive, water was introduced in the sausage. This water, in contact with oil at high temperatures could explode if it was not cooked in an accurate way, producing a bruise similar to the fireworks (bangers). As we can imagine, nowadays the sausages are not filled by water but meat.

You have to bear in mind that this food was made during the World War II. Do you think it was the most dangerous thing they do?
No, not really! but at present I would forget about preparing it in this way! =P
My home is like the World War II, so there's no danger in cooking it
This is a note for the future Pablo: Do not visit Jesus´house. hahaha
