I’m pretty miserable right now. I’ve got a bit of a cold that’s made its way down to my chest, and it’s making me cough like I’ve been smoking off-brand cigarettes all day. Somebody kindly suggested I have a bowl of soup – but if I wanted to drink something I’d have another cup of coffee. Instead, tonight my mind wanders to a pub favourite. Dammit, I want me some bangers and mash.
There’s something magical about a rustic and grainy (but delightfully buttery, perhaps garlic-infused) mashed potato, with two plump grilled pork bangers and some pan fried onions that makes me salivate enough to forget that I’m sick. A good bangers and mash doesn’t need anything other than the sausages and the mash, really; anything else is just gravy.

GITS.
Nothing beats Bangers n Mash for that hearty, feel-good pick-me-upper meal.

You shouldn’t drink so much flavoured water dude. There’s a reason you’re throwing up your soup.
Ottokie

It was tough to not use a GIF that was actual barf xD

So you found one with soup instead 😀
Ottokie
July 12, 2016 at 16:12
At least with the soup I know what is in it, instead of mystery meat 😛
Pariah
July 12, 2016 at 16:12
PORK bangers. PORK. The same ingredients as bacon. These aren’t viennas, they’re Pork Bangers.
Ottokie
July 12, 2016 at 16:14
Pork is just as bad xD

… Are you Jewish or Muslim?
While I don’t get the insane love for bacon, pork as a meat is yummy.

Soup is more mysterious.

sauce – a liquid or semi-liquid substance served with food to add moistness and flavour.

Beetroot is the tasty enemy of any plate of food xD
Hammersteyn_hates_Raid0

True, but I don’t see any beetroot

I’d invite Trevor over, but he’d have to excuse us while we eat as his steak is still being cremated
Pariah
July 12, 2016 at 16:19
You could always just heat up some cardboard instead. He won’t even notice, and in the end, ya’ll get to eat together. 🙂

I was watching social eating on twitch (I was very board) and this one oke is eating a great looking plate of food but with this super black steak on it. Chat was freaking out about it the entire time xD

Were you so “board” you watched a guy it a piece of burned wood?
Ottokie
July 12, 2016 at 16:26
Indeed…
Pariah
July 12, 2016 at 16:28
I’m sorry. I love Twitch, I love watching certain games and/or streamers. But eating? Even I have limits.
Ottokie
July 12, 2016 at 16:28
Yup, it is truly stupid on so many levels xD

I’d get banned from Twitch the way I eat

Do you use a separate grate for each type of meat, because mixing not allowed, you foodist pig!
Ottokie

All meat can touch, it’s all good in the hood

All meat?
Ooooooooooh my!

July 12, 2016 at 16:34
All meat but not all bangers?
Pariah
July 12, 2016 at 16:34
Not all bangers were created equal I guess. XD
