A comment on this earlier AskLemmy post inspired me to ask this question. I think there’s lots of delicious British food/it really depends on how you cook it, as with any cuisine.

Yes - If it’s “slop,” then fine, I like eating slop!
Bangers and mash isn’t one of my favourites, just because it’s very basic - but I do always enjoy eating it and the fact it has only a few components is one of it’s strengths. Every cuisine needs some simpler fishers like that.
yeah, maybe i’m just shit at being english (i don’t like tea or football either) but i am not compelled to defend the cuisine. if i could figure out exxactly why i like bangers and mash so much i might prepare a argument for it but ‘i just really like it’ suits me fine
Sausages feel very nutritious to eat, as does high-butter food like Mashed potatoes - whether they actually are good for modern people’s health is irrelevant. I imagine when it was invented it was quite important for people to refuel on protein fat and carbs all at once.
Something I like about it is that it’s sort of like an exercise in balance and self control, you dip your sausage (pardon the… nvm) into mashed potatoes, balancing the very flavoursome meaty morsel with the potatoes. It’s like a pacing yourself kind of meal? Wouldn’t want to end up with too much potato left over, not finish it all before your sausages are eaten.
Got to eat them both at the exact same rate.
in a just world you would be rewarded for committing such thoughtful commentary on bangers and mash to the public domain
Toad in the hole is basically bangers & mash 2.0
