First had them in Vancouver on the way to the botanical gardens. As many around me were having it for breakfast, I figured it was the Canadian version of sausage and eggs (with mashed potatoes instead of hash browns). Strange thing is my best friend’s mom was English, and they never had it at their house. They had a ton of other English foods, just never that one.
I’ve spent tons of time in Canada (Vancouver, Victoria, Kamploops, Langley, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, Gatineau…) (along with living 2 hours away) and have never honestly seen bangers and mash there any more than you would see them here in the US. It’s definitely a British dish albeit an old school dish.
My Scottish grandma would make it on occasion and my mom as well. In Edmonton it used to be on the menu at old school local spots like the Silk Hat on Jasper Ave or the Commodore. I think even Albert’s family restaurants had it back in the day but it seems to not be on the menu anymore although liver and onions still is.
It’s going to be interesting to see what the Dodger bullpen and starting 5 is going to be next season.
I won’t be surprised if the Angels go full fire sale and sell off anyone with a value to them. The problem is the shelves are bare for them in their farm system, so maybe they join the White Sox in the Hall of Shame for season losses.
the Dodgers are ruining MLB. You can’t have all the talent on one club and hold fans interest. MLB has a soft cap but LA is circumventing it by deferring salaries. They did it again by signing Snell today.
My favorite player as a kid, Richard Anthony Allen, gets off the list of 10 best players not in the HOF. It’s a shame this couldn’t have happened when he was alive to see it. Nobody, but nobody, hit a baseball harder than Dick Allen could in his prime.
