For mash

Note: do not use a food processor to mash the potatoes, it turns the potatoes into an inedible paste.

  1. This looks great. Bangers and mash stays a big favourite of mine. I have never added nutmeg to mash, I will give that a try the next time I make mash.

  2. The nutmeg caught me off guard as well when I discovered it in a couple of recipes, but it was nice.

  3. OMG!! I haven't had these in years. I used to date a British guy years ago who took me to a pub and introduced me to these foods. Great post!

  4. @Kathy: and nothing is stopping you from making a butter chicken sausages with cardamom mash (hey, I like that idea). Interested in fusion?

  5. I just saw this Dan, funny as bangers and mash is on my "need to make asap" list. I had a wonderful bangers and mash at a pub in Victoria, BC back in May and I still can't stop thinking about it. I'm especially craving it now that the cooler weather has arrived. Great comfort food!

  6. @Brenda: tell me the pub was "The Bard and the Banker" (the only pub I've ever visited in Victoria)

    Meredith and I were there on our honeymoon (the last stop of an Alaskan cruise), and the pub food was outstanding, the decor was beautiful and the live band played our song.
