Bangers, commonly known as sausages, are a type of meat product made from ground meat, fat, and various seasonings. They are typically encased in a natural or synthetic casing, which helps hold the mixture together. Bangers can be made from different types of meat, including pork, beef, or chicken, and are popular in many cuisines around the world. In the United Kingdom, bangers are often served with mashed potatoes and gravy in a dish called "bangers and mash." The term "banger" is believed to have originated during World War I when sausages contained a high water content, causing them to burst when cooked. Today, bangers are enjoyed in various forms, including breakfast sausages and gourmet varieties.
