Let Native Maine Produce & Specialty Foods and North Country Smokehouse bring the Luck of the Irish to your table this St. Patrick’s Day with this Bangers and Mash recipe! Our Irish Bangers are an authentic sausage with great flavor.

March 17 is approaching quickly and visions of shamrocks, leprechauns and green beer begin to dance through the heads of those anticipating the annual celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. What better way to celebrate the day of the patron saint of Ireland than to feast on a traditional dish enjoyed by generations of Irish and Irish wannabe’s.

Bangers are a traditional Irish sausage that is a combination of pork, spices and rusk (bread crumbs). This sausage is steamed, rather smoked sausage, and is served in a number of ways. Our favorite here at NMP is with mashed potatoes and onion gravy to create Bangers and Mash.
