#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:
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).

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!
