On Saturday, I went to Bowl & Barrel with some friends and ordered the Scotch Egg that was on their menu.
Scotch Egg description:
our banger sausage around a farm egg, fried crispy on a bed of salad greens
The server said it was good and that they take a lot of time to make it right; I was curious about it since I'd seen a contestant on MasterChef make the dish. It was delish (though, a little salty) and didn't need the sweet BBQ-like sauce that came on the side.
I'd heard of bangers before but wondered. . . what exactly is banger sausage? Is it a specific type of sausage?
According to Wikipedia:
Although it is sometimes stated that the term "bangers" has its origins in World War II, the term was
actually in use at least as far back as 1919. The term "bangers" is attributed to the fact that sausages, particularly the kind made during World War II under rationing, were made with water so they were more likely to explode under high heat if not cooked carefully; modern sausages do not have this attribute.
