I've only had it once (at a Harry Potter restaurant in Universal Islands in Orlando). I want to make it again, but I'm having problems finding the right kind of sausage. Everything around here is either a Jimmy Dean breakfast link or a bratwurst. What am I looking for, and where can I find it?

I've seen them listed as "Irish" style sausages.

I've used the regular Johnsonville brats.

Four me though, it's about the fresh, snappy peas, mashed potatoes, and gravy though (with each bite of the banger. (Personally didn't like the mushy peas)

An Irish restaurant I went to the sausage was similar to Vienna sausage.

Go to your butcher and get some fresh brats, make mashed potatoes. Done. If you have extra brats leftover, cut them up into pieces and cook them till crispy, add eggs, fix up a spicy bloody, you now have a wonderful start to Saturday. LoL

Bangers are a different thing from most other sausages. You have a shop up in Layton called "Little Taste of Britain". You might contact and ask if they will sell you some. You'll need to explore the best ways to cook them.

We have a local pub where we have ordered them in the past - usually 5 or 10 pounds at a time. Mom used to like to keep some in the freezer. I checked recently, and they said they can still do this - the person they buy from, it appears, may retire from making them before long.

You'd have to look, but there might be places where you can buy them frozen and have them shipped. May cost a bit more, but it is one way to have them handy.

Good luck! I try to get to that pub every once in a while and pick some up.

ADD - found a link to one place that ships. I do not have any experience with them.

2nd ADD - found a place in Springville that sells bangers

3rd ADD - you sent me down a rabbit hole - found an actual RECIPE for making bangers. I'd recommend starting with a small batch to make sure they are what you want

All of the British Isles just let out a collective groan. Substituting a Brat for a proper Banger is like getting chicken when you ordered turkey.

OP: I usually buy from RJ Balson and Son. I also recommend getting some rasher.

use whatever sausage you want,
make the taters just a bit chunky,

leftovers, if any , tossed in a skillet with some onions, stirred around a bit to soften the onions,
add maybe a 1/2 dozen eggs (scrambled and poured over the sausage and taters) then pop that under the broiler till done,


variation of a Jamie Oliver recipe, and damn tasty

If you ever make it to Newport, Oregon, try the bangers and mash at Nana's Irish Pub.

Lol. I've have bangers before. How traditional, I don't truly know, but I realize there's a flavor/texture profile you're looking for. However, the idea is basically the same...sausages and potatoes. Brats are not all Johnsonville my friend. Most butchers make their own mix. I can get several varieties of sausages from my local butcher...hence the suggestion.

And if you ever want to have really good sausages and you're in WI. Go to the grocery store, yeah, just a grocery store. ReChek's Food Pride in Beaver Dam, WI. They make about 30 flavors of "brats" under the Grandpa ReCheks brand. Unfortunately they don't ship. I'll put their sausage up against any I've tasted. And they're $4 a pack.

To elaborate, you can also get pure veal sausages as well. The texture will be super fine. Often you'll see these as white bratwurst. Continental sausage makes a good veal sausage, though I find the casing a bit thick for my personal preference. I have been told though that pure veal sausages are more taboo now and harder to find.

Anyhow, the mix - the pork/veal++ meat ratio is key, as well as spices. A pork or beef sausage will be notably more textured than one with veal, at least in my experience.
