Food Tuesday: Bangers and Mash

#FoodTuesday #writingprompt

So two friends and I had lunch at The Irish Rover in Louisville, which I hadn’t done in years. It’s just as good as I remembered, and the company was stellar.

I told the waitress that I used to buy a pound of their bangers to take home and cook for myself, and she asked, and sold me a pound. It’s Winston’s Artisan Foods’ Irish Style Bangers.

So this happened:

Tastes better than it looks.

First, I cooked some sweet onions in vegan butter, salt, and a little sugar. Very low and very slow, until the onions started to brown. Then I removed the onions, added a little more butter, and browned the bangers on all sides. Next, I added some Guinness, water, and beef bouillon and cooked that for about ten minutes. I took out the bangers, stirred in some water and flour, and kept stirring until the gravy thickened. I put the onions and bangers back into the gravy, and BOOM!

Of course, I made some mashed potatoes, and the next day I reheated the leftovers along with some leftover corn.

Honestly, SO GOOD! I see on the Winston’s site that they plan to have sausage rolls and meat pies. I’m saving my pennies and wiping the anticipatory drool off my chin(s).

    That sounds SO delicious! Sausage rolls and meat pies, too? I’m so jealous! I’d love to try this at home — thank you for the recipe and step-by-step process. I certainly won’t be able to find the exact bangers that you used, but hopefully there are some good ones at the local supermarket!

    Oh my, that looks so good. PS, I like mixing corn in with mashed potatoes.
