Haggis would trump, but I'll take bangers and mash, or just about anything, over neeps and squeaks any day! |

Isn't it because the skin pops when you cook them???? |

Sounds delicious… and they say that Brits eat nasty food. I am unconvinced that this is the case… |

Notice how no one so far has said they do not like them? |

Gourmet food. King Edward potatoes make good mash. I'm partial to to German sausage: bratwurst for choice. Add some beans cooked in lemon butter. Crusty bread & a glass of good beer.
…..you'll have to excuse me. I'm going to the kitchen. |

I do a lovely sausage and mash with a very delicate onion gravy.
Not for eating when gaming though. |

Had a reasonably decent bangers and mash at Bovington canteen last time I dropped in to the museum. |

Not while playing as I find the gravy (thick onion of course) sticks to the flock too much! I understand it came from around the WW1 period – the ingredients included cereal soaked in water due to the lack of meat and they popped like popcorn hence the 'bang' |

Sounds delicious… and they say that Brits eat nasty food. I am unconvinced that this is the case… . That's an old stereotype. Lots of good food and chefs over there. My wife's a Brit and lucky for me she's a great cook. Much of the stock carried there can be found in major grocery stores over here and shipped online. |

There is certainly something to be said for bangers and mash, but I never eat messy food while gaming – I have a hard enough time keeping the table clean |

What are Bangers and Mash ? they sang about them in "GET Him to the Greek' . sOUNDED LIKE A BREAKFAST THING |

Everybody knows that the ultimate wargaming food is pizza and beer. |

I thought it was during the WWII food shortages andrew |

Turtle, corn bread, and potatos my grandfather made in 1972 or so was the best meal I ever had we were down on the farm in Vandalia Illinois and had to hunt for our food. My step brother and caught it along with several catfish we cooked up as well.

Mmmmmmm….bangers & mash with a cool  . Allow me to pause and savor the memories. As for doing it during a wargame, never. Pizza is for wargaming. |

Well my youngest brother tried it when across the pond and says it is not half bad. On the other hand it is not all that common over here. Usual fare at the club for mini-cons is hot dogs with chili, it's a gaming club, not a diner club. |

Nothing says 'Britain' quite like Kielbasa and Idaho spuds. |

We actually wargame in the backroom of an Irish pub, so bangers and mash are always on the menu, along with a great Shepard's Pie and the best corned beef and cabbage a man could ask for. I'm a proud member of the Atlantic Gaming Commision in Chicago, where our home is the back of the Atlantic Bar! |
