Do Not Be Anxious About Anything

Bangers and Mash is a traditional British dish made of mashed potatoes and sausages. The name bangers origins in world war II where sausages were ration food and were made with water, and if not properly cooked, would burst in the pan with a bang.
This ultimate comfort dish works best when it's served just the way it is normally eaten. From the essential pork sausages and onion gravy to the creamy mash.

I have English Cumberland sausages with  sweet onion gravy and sour cream mash. The potatoes are mashed with a mixture of hot milk and butter, sour cream, salt and crushed black pepper to taste, and whipped with a whisk to create a smooth, light and fluffy texture. Sour cream and potatoes are a perfect match.
