the reason for sausages being called "bangers" is because of the high water content in them in WWII, due to the meat rationing. which would mean that they would pop when cooking like you said.

Barry, As someone who’s disabled and has a budget, thank you SO MUCH for the 4321 series. Also thank you for not turning your nose up at prepackaged ingredients or packet mixes, instead framing them as “free flavor.” You’re the only YT chef I know of who can do the big fancy complex recipes but who also doesn’t turn his nose up at the things that get a lot of us struggling people through the week. (Alton Brown’s elitism and lack of understanding about time and energy poverty really bothers me). Thank you for spending so much time dedicated to food that’s realistic for people like me.

Ugh, I’m not get started on Alton but yes, his attitude & bigotry is disgusting. Sorted Food here on KZread is a great channel that has recently been doing the same thing, a lot of their shows are more entertainment than recipes but in their time crunched shows they do advocate for using flavored mixes in various ways. They also have a meal plan app specifically with quick easy meals, but it is a paid app. I like their channel for their informational shows, too, definitely recommend them.

The term bangers comes from wartime when meat was scarce so butchers made sausages with a lot of filler to make the meat stretch further. A lot of sausages contained a lot of added water which would turn to steam during cooking. The build up of pressure in the skins caused them to explode in the pan with a bang.

My favorite fast and easy way to jazz up couscous is to take about 1/4 of the water out and replace it with lemon and/or lime juice. A good amount of fresh cracked pepper in with that, and it's a really nice side for some fish.

From what I heard "bangers" came from WW1 rationed sausages that were given to British soldiers, because they had large water content so they kind of exploded when roasted over the open flames.

Looks like your pepper jack is black pepper. Here in the US our pepper jack is typically with bits of chopped jalapenos. I like it, but I'm intrigued by the black pepper though. I bet that tastes good too but very different from what I'm used to.

Hi Barry, I’m currently sick at home with Covid. I’ve been binge watching your videos again. Thank you for keeping me entertained through this. One thing I love about KZread is that when I zone out and forget what is happening in a video, I can rewind it. You can not rewind a Professor!

Sausages are called Bangers, because cheap ones used to have a high water content, and, unless you pricked the skins before cooking, steam would build up, and the sausages would explode, hence 'Bangers'. Not a problem today, though, where contents are better quality, and strictly regulated. I always thought that Ainsley Harriot would be the sort of bloke that it would be fun to have a pint or three with. Possibly on a nice afternoon at a cricket match, somewhere.

At Costco in the US, we can get flavored chicken sausage, apple Gouda or mango jalapeno. They are fully cooked and so easy to add to so many dishes. Also, I just realized I was eating a 3 ingredient dish as I watched this video. Mac and cheese with pulled pork and fresh tomatoes from the garden 🤤

The bangers and mash with the sausages cut up and put in the mash was one of my favourite meals as a kid,we called it hedgehog cause the sausages sticking out look like hedgehog quills

Looks nice, especially the couscous!!! But... You made a strawberry smoothie, not a milkshake. Don't use yogurt. Instead, use a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream, strawberries, some of the strawberry milk and blend. Delicious!

The Jaffa Cake thing is one of those oddball bits you remember. They are legally a cake as they go hard when stale rather than soft like a biscuit. The reason it's important? 20% less tax on cakes. Also the jam bit is actually apricot with orange oil rather than marmalade.

There’s something about using a nonstick pan and the food glides right off it that’s so satisfying to me 😂

One little thing I would've done differently with the Jaffa Trifle is to melt the marmalade with a little water before adding to the Jaffa sponge's at the bottom of the glass and allowed it to re-set after.

The couscous cake looks like tahdig, the crispy bit at the bottom of the rice cooker that Iranians love

They used to bang during the War rations as butchers would add eater to the sausage meat to make it go future and the sausages would sort of explode when the water leaked into the oil. Which is where the pricking a sauage also comes from as it prevented them from bursting.

I put cheese whiz and chopped onion in my mashed potatoes. Looks orangey but tastes yummy. Oh yes and top with parsley!

Here's a desert suggestion: puff pastry poppy seed strudel. You need one sheet of puff pastry, 500g of poppy seeds and 200g sugar OR you can get ready-made poppy seed and sugar package so you can add another ingredient! Just roll out your puff pastry and sprinkle a generous amount of the poppy seed mix, roll up and bake for 180°C until it's golden brown. This is really delicious, I make it pretty often, just make sure to add a good amount of sugar so it's not too bland. I hope someone tries this 😄

Barry you said about the cous cous "By a chap called Ainsley Harriot". Please tell me you know who he is you can't be British otherwise 😂 He is the legend from Ready Steady Cook. Amazingly friendly and joyous guy.

i actually used the same idea for flavored rice boxes like roasted vegatable and garlic and make a homemade cream suace using sour cream, cream cheese and a little milk and mix it all with caramelized onions that i cooked down cause my mother is highly alergic to raw onions and either roasted red peppers or cook down red peppers and mushrooms and will make it with chopped up chicken as a whole dish

Saw you and the fam in the garden centre yesterday, wanted to say hi but didn’t want to disturb you.

I do the same thing in the store. I make recipes on my head walking down the aisle. Don't let me see something new. It's over. I can be there for too long. 😉

I make a dish that i call a cheats risotto! A packet of the dry microwaveable golden vegetable rice! But instead of using all water to cook it, i substitute half for fresh orange juice! Then when cooked through, i mix in roughly half a tub of garlic and herb soft cheese (free flavour 😉😉)! We often have it on the side of fish cakes with vegetables! Or we add in some frozen veg before cooking!

17:20 must be the end of August spirit that brought this analogy to mind.

I make an easy meal of pasta garlic and herb cream cheese and ethier bacon or leeks fried up. Banging and quick student meal.

I would add custard to the triffle- does not feel like a triffle without custard. And maybe mix the marmalade with orange jelly too - must try

The couscous cake would make a great packed lunch for the girls

Ketchup with bangers and mash. You beast you 🤣 always gravy for me especially a good onion one.

Barry and family, Love the energy and comedy mixed with good information. To amuse and attract the kids you could call the Green Bangers and Mash, Shrek Mash....the bangers standing on end look like martian antennae. All the best Jim Oaxaca, Mexico

A 3 ingredient curry I've heard about...lamb mince, tin of chopped tomatoes...and a bag of bombay mix...please try this.

Barry - chop your potatoes really small before boiling if you're going to mash them - so much quicker!

The "Pesto Aisle"? How posh is your supermarket?😂

Great vid as always, but I have to pull you up on the specifics of why sausages are called 'bangers'... The term was actually probably coined during one of the world wars (sources are divided on which one) when meat shortages in the UK forced butchers to stretch their sausages with fillers. These fillers would commonly include a large amount of water, so they'd 'bang' when fried in the pan (obvs not in a good way mind you). Sounds like your sister is keeping the tradition alive by adding water to the pan while she's cooking them even now! 🤣

This is how I did bangers and mash for my son when he was a child. Tracey Island

That sausage and mash need a good onion gravy and it would be stonking

Barry, we're all about saving energy and saving money. So, cut your potatoes up (keep the skin on if you wish!) and put a lid on the pan. The potatoes will cook in half the time and use half the gas.

The sausage comment wasn't quite accurate Barry. They got the name bangers around the world war time. The water content of the sausage was so high that they would sometimes explode when cooked hence the name BANGERS 💥. I love this series btw. keep up the good work
