• [1][2][3] A plate of sausage, mash, onions, and peas served at a pub in Epping, Essex, England This dish, even when cooked at home, may be thought of as an example of pub
  grub, meaning it is relatively quick and easy to make in large quantities.

• [6] The term “bangers” is attributed (in common usage in the UK) to the fact that sausages made during World War I, when there were meat shortages, were made with such a high
  water content that they were liable to pop under high heat when cooked.
