BANGERS and mash is the most popular comfort food during the recession, a survey revealed today.
Despite the recession, business is booming as many pubs are starting to do simple meals like bangers and mash and faggots and peas instead of expensive steaks.
The lunch menu sees traditional British favourites like a starter of bubble and squeak cake with fried egg, and main courses of bangers and mash, fish and chips, and lamb shank, while the dessert choice for both lunch and dinner includes sticky toffee pudding and knickerbocker glory.
