South Africans and even our expat friends from across the pond, there is nothing we miss more than our traditional favorites.
Bangers and mash originated in England during World War 1 and became a staple in all the colonies. As the English expats remained in countries like South Africa, it quickly became a favorite for not only the English but for the locals as well.
Delicious pork, beef or lamb sausage named a Banger are usually served with mashed potatoes and a caramelized onion gravy. Another side are usually peas or carrots, or even mushy peas.
