Did you know?
- The name “banger” comes from the way these sausages would explode or “bang” while cooking due to high water content.
- Traditional bangers contain rusk, a type of wheat filler that helps keep them juicy and soft.
- During WWII, banger sausages contained less meat, leading to a mushier texture and more water, which increased their tendency to burst when fried.
Drawback
- High in saturated fat, which can contribute to heart disease if consumed frequently.
- Very high in sodium, which may lead to increased blood pressure.
- Processed meat, which has been linked to higher health risks when eaten in excess.
