One of the things I miss most about England is of course the food that I grew up with. Fish and chips, Bangers and mash, Shephards pie --- yum. Finally though - I have found a great place to have my England favorites. The pub at Pointe Orlando - is a great place because it has a wide selection of traditional English dishes, and for those that like it - also about 40 different types of beer and spirits. In fact 3/4 of their menu is dedicated to that. Hopefully this place will stay around.
Anyway did you ever wonder where the name bangers and mash originated from. For those that don't know what this is, it refers to sausages and mashed potatoes. The term 'bangers' has its origins from World War 2, because at this time sausages were under a ration so they were made with water and therefore they were more likely to explode under a high temperature if not cooked carefully.
