Two pages?

hmmmm

What, one for bangers and one for mash? Good grief. Wahkeenah 05:46, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Read a little further down the article. Several of those other references should be on a disambiguation page. Indja 12:35, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I know, it's just another case of one editor trying to get another to do their work for them. "Hey, this page needs a disambiguation! Somebody else, hop to it, pronto!" Wahkeenah 13:07, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wonderful

"More of a serving suggestion than a recipe..." What a wonderful example of encyclopaedic humour. Splendid! Whitespace (talk) 18:31, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

London Cuisine?

I beg to differ. Bangers and mash is about as English as you can get without involving a Yorkshire Pudding. Is this London-centric view an attempt to assuage any remonstrance from the hugely US-bias Wikipedia contains by using a City they'll have heard of? VonBlade (talk) 22:46, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fix it then. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.165.210.64 (talk) 02:20, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh...I see. It already is fixed. You just want to complain about the US. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.165.210.64 (talk) 02:24, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Beans?

No mention of bangers, mash and baked beans? For shame! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.112.108.251 (talk) 21:09, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP Ireland

Why is the article tagged WikiProject Ireland? I don't doubt that bangers and mash is eaten there, but it's hardly an iconic example of Irish cuisine. It's more associated with Britain, particularly England. Ef80 (talk) 16:30, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to WikiProject United Kingdom per current article text. --Belbury (talk) 10:43, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology

Hi folks, thanks for your work here. Got this meal in New Zealand ages ago, as it was recomended to me. Now from some rason I remidned and looked for it on Internet. As I'm not a english native speaker it is for me hard to understand the "Etymology" paragraph (section) relating to the name of the sausage - the banger. When I read the sausage makes pop when cooked, it doesn't expleain the name for me really. I mean the sausage when not just heated to be served, but when it comes to cooking and the high content of water in the sausage changes its state from liquid to steam, what causes it's casing (gut? bowel?) to sudden (suddenly ... Mr. Bean) opening followed by the sound that could be described as bang. Therefor is it named banger (onomatopoeia) and not popper. That gives some sense to me as a not native english speaker. Could someone please consider my (too long) explanation and somehow enhance this article? Thanks in advance Karel 213.168.182.101 (talk) 16:40, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Pop" does seem understated and possibly ambiguous (do they pop open or make small popping noises?) when the cited source uses the more emphatic "explode". I'll give the section a copyedit. Belbury (talk) 16:57, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
