Food Jargon

To answer your question, Kristin, bangers and mash is sausages and mashed potatoes. Sausage as in link sausage.

Also, other food related terms

chips = fries
crisps = potato chips
bitter = Beer? Not so sure on this one...either beer or a type of beer. They say it.
biscuit = cookie
aubergine = eggplant
entree = appetizer (that's what it means in French, too)
jelly = jello

washing up liquid = dish soap
Not food related, but I did learn that at the grocery store. :)

I'm sure there are many more, but those are just the obvious ones that I've managed to pick up so far.
