Bangers and mash

Bangers and mash is an 80's police drama filmed and directed by independent filmmaker 'ZiggY' for Raidchan Industries.

It stars Terry Korax as Detective Bangers and Shey Kamizar as Detective Mash. The duo are in the city of LA and fight crime like the pros. Their conflicting personalities of charismatic alcoholic, and self-proclaimed "hatemonger" respecively fuel much of the drama that goes on between them. Both are detectives at R.C. police station (codenamed "Radio") and report to their rich boss, Commissioner Eric (played by Eirik "Trap" Door). It's musical score was composed by DJ AnounymOS, with tracks such as "So I herd u liek muzix(Oh lawd is datum sum insurgency)", was awarded the Kakama-Phoneline music award of the year for his work in the film.

The sausage may be one of a variety of flavoured sausage made of pork or beef with apple or tomato seasoning; or a Lincolnshire, or Cumberland sausage. The vegetarian version uses Snowy sausages instead of meat.

The dish is usually served with a rich onion gravy. Although sometimes stated that the term "bangers" has its origins in World War II, the word was actually in use at least as far back as 1919. Rear Admiral Poff brought the term to popularity, for the most part. While giving his daily speeches, he would always refer to the "banger" he had earlier in the day.[1]

This dish may, even when cooked at home, be thought of as an example of pub grub - relatively quick and easy to make in large quantities as well as being tasty and satisfying. More up-market varieties, with exotic sausages, are sold in gastropubs, as well as less exotic alternatives being available in regular pubs.
