That was on my list for dinner this evening. Local Irish bar here has proper bangers. *note* I say Irish BAR because pubs simply do not exist on this side of the planet.
LOL I was just looking at the menu for the Irish Pub getting close to lunch time

Ya, it 'prolly won't be anyone's Authentic..
It's basic all what my Dad used to make with some modern touches.

Got these sausages pretty cheap. People say they are tough and chewy, because they are morons who can't read and grill them. These are fully cooked sausages for boiling, not grilling..despite the HD logo. ;)






Bit of onion and garlic and a Prik Kee chile for fun. Dash of Marjoram, Sweet Basil and S&P in the water.



In they go...
No, I probably won't actually mash them...just rustic stuff here.



Haven't decided if I wanna make brown gravy for 'em or not...

Ah, sorry, I've no HP sauce here, but I made a gravy for it....

send me some please

Bumma, I've eaten it. Be amazed how fast a 1/2" diced potato cooks.


So, used the remainder of the nicely starchy and savory cooking liquid. Added some beef base and a dash of Lea & Perrins. Reduced that to a nice gravy.




I once was told, that if ya drag a spoon across the gravy and it starts to remain parted, it's done. ;)




It's done alrighty....in mah belli... ;)

I still get stick from mates about my gravy. I just refuse to make the meat "glue" so familiar here.

Well, there is no flour in there, just the natural starch from the 'tators at work. :)
When I roast beef.....I deglaze to remove the meaty bits...then mash it and the veg through a sieve and reduce the liquid until it coats the back of a spoon....done.

I think you're a bit pre-programmed to dis things not done in a certain way...as you were taught to do. But, this isn't haute cuisine for the rich people.

I know how to do a reduction and I did one. But, if there are no meaty bits on account of boiling? ;)
Even the professionals use beef base on occasion.

Eh, it is whut it is..lol... I'd wager 99% of the world learned how to have their own cuisines without Escoffier's help. :p

I could never be a Chef....too many damned rules. I'm a Cook.

And that's sad. I've always wanted to visit a real pub.

I am certain SOME exist....but I should imagine only in cities with substantial Irish populations such as Boston. As they lack what most bar patrons want....they tend to be somewhat invisible.

What would you define as a misfit? That is the real question. I did live on the island for misfit toys for awhile.
