British banger
Pub breakfast link
A British banger is a sausage, typically pork, associated with traditional British cooking.
The name supposedly comes from sausages bursting during cooking, especially during wartime when they contained more water.
Bangers are central to bangers and mash—sausages served with mashed potatoes.
The term distinguishes British-style sausages from other varieties: I'll have the British bangers, not the bratwurst.
