Around the World in 80 Plates: England

This next one was a request of my husband's. I mentioned England and his eyes lit up as he offered "bangers and mash?" The boy loves his mashed potatoes and any chance to eat them he's in. I had a pack of Field Roast Apple Sage Sausages in the freezer so I quickly defrosted them and got to peeling. Not much of a recipe to share here but it was definitely a taster supper. The mashed potatoes were jazzed up a bit by the addition of some homemade sour cream, using Miyoko Schinner's recipe from Artisan Vegan Cheese (amazing!), and a bit of prepared horseradish. Maybe not traditional but oh so good! I added some steamed broccoli and carrots from the farmer's market for some colour and hey, we like veggies!

  1. To be really English, they need some gravy!

  2. Oh, this sounds delicious!! I love those apple sage sausages, and I always have them with horseradish too. (Although, I usually do a mixture of Vegenaise and horseradish. Now that they have a horseradish sauce, it saves a step!) The idea of adding horseradish to your mashed potatoes is a great one.

  4. Glad to see you've made it to Blighty! Bangers and mash is absolutely one of favourite dinners.

    Liz is right about the gravy, but to make it ultra traditional, you need to serve it with either a pint of bitter or a cup of tea!
