@RRP. If you have a Fresh Market near you, their Irish Bangers are terrific. Mashed taters, onions in a rich brown gray to go with - I'm drooling .I'm not too sure but I think they use a little marjoram in their mix.

Thank you for the suggestion but Irish bangers are not the same as Irish sausage - though it is a common misunderstanding - they really are two different things with the spices involved plus bangers are stuffed but Irish sausage is not.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Most recipes I have read call for rosemary. Here's a typical Irish Sausage recipe:
Homemade Irish Sausage Ingredients:- 5-lbs ground pork
- 3-tsp thyme
- 3-tsp dried rosemary
- 5-cups breadcrumbs
- 3-tsp dried basil
- 4-eggs, lightly beaten
- 8-cloves garlic, minced
- 3-tsp marjoram
- 1 1/2-tbsp salt
- 3-tsp black pepper
- 1-cup water

Never had Irish Sausage before. Now you've got me intrigued. I saw that same recipe on a site that I have had pretty good success with other sausage recipes so it might be pretty good. Thing that gets me is the breadcrumbs. Seems like a lot of filler for a sausage, but like I said, I've never had them before so it could be the norm.
Went and looked around, though, and it seems like 1 cup of breadcrumbs per pound of pork is what most seem to use.
So what kind of meal do you usually serve them with? Are they a breakfast or dinner kinda meal and what else do you eat with them? You got me wanting to break out the sausage gear this weekend now.

@RRP. Looking at your recipe, it doesn't look that different to what an English banger might contain. I used to work for a butcher in London when I was a kid and made sausages for him. The recipe was similar.Bear in mind there are micro regions in England alone, never mind the rest of the Isles and attachments. A sausage made in Derbyshire will be different, while only slightly, than one made in Surrey.The English are more lightly to buy bangers in casings (it's convenient for today) and strip them when at home. My mum used to stuff chickens with sausage meat.I think it may be more to do with the name difference than the make-up.As the Irish blogger said in his article; the Irish don't refer to bangers, especially since "The Troubles"

@RRP. I don't think it helped you find any. With your talents you should do your own anyway.BTW, a good sausage patty would still go well with mashed taters (or maybe Colcannon) and a brown onion gravy. Comfort food for the Navvies.

After WW11, meat was rationed so families had to "bulk up" dishes with all kinds of additives. I remember mum creaming margarine in with the butter- butter was rationed, margarine wasn't. Stews were popular because you could add cheap veggies to very little meat and add barley, rice or potatoes. It's one of the reasons that British food is regarded as bland. Not any more, thank goodness.Sausages are eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A sausage sandwich with HP steak sauce and a mug of piping hot tea is good any time of day (or night, like a wWhite Castle or Chrystal).Think about how many different types of sausages are all around the world.Tony in Brentwood, TN.

I have an Irish Cook Book that was a James Beard winner but haven't tried any of the sausage recipes yet. Now I will LOL..........Have you ever had Romanian Mitete skinless sausage?Dearborn MI

Thanks for the info @RRP and @HDumptyEsq The reasoning behind the filler makes a lot of sense. Didn't think about that. Still thinking of trying some this weekend in SWMBOed doesn't have a big Honey-Do list for me to complete.

My wife is half German and that side always makes a dish called Goetta. Its a slow cooked pork dish simmered with Pin Head oats as a filler. It is then placed in a bread pan and cooked further. You then slice it and fry it for breakfast like a sausage patty. Every culture used fillers to stretch meat at some point.Dearborn MI

Humpty, I have a Romanian friend and her parent's make it for Holidays etc. It truly is one of the best sausages I have ever had in my life. They mix the meat a day or two in advance and use some baking soda as well to plump the meat and let the flavors blend..........And this is coming from a Polack LOLDearborn MI

Thanks, @KenfromMI, I'll look for a recipe and try it.I used to visit Ford Motor Company in Dearborn. They own the property that the Ritz Carlton stands on. We used to get the Ford rate - $99 a night

They are old school and don't have a written recipe. They were supposed to let me make it with them and teach me but a family falling out put the kabash on that. There are several recipes online that all seem close to the ingredients they used. I guess like all things everyone will have their own opinions on how much of each spice etc.Dearborn MI

@kenfromMI. I just found a recipe for mitetei. It looks really good. Gonna try it. I'll let you know…...

Galtee makes a pretty good Irish sausage and you can find them online. If you can find the cocktail size those make great appetizers. Tommy Maloneys is another national brand of Irish sausage that can be found on the internet. Usually English style Bangers taste just about the same as Irish sausages but are usually deep fried as opposed to pan fried and there is a little difference in the taste. They are usually bigger than Irish sausages also, more of a dinner then a breakfast sausage if that makes sense.
If I had a choice of an American made Irish sausage I would go with the Galtee, not sure what you are getting at your local joint but the Galtee tastes like just like a sausage from Ireland IMHO.

Never made this, but found it online. Irish Sausage Recipe 2 lbs of ground pork (if you can get a butcher to grind it for you fresh, ask for pork ground from the shoulder butt, otherwise, just use regular ground pork) 1 egg 1 cup of bread crumbs ¾ cup of cold water 1 and ¼ tsps of salt 1 and ½ tsps of dried thyme 1 tsp dried marjoram 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper ½ tsp or dried rosemary 4 cloves of garlic, flattened and finely minced Sausage casings (these are generally sold salted and refrigerated. To use, for small batches, just take off a couple of strands, rinse out well with cold water two or three times and then stuff, twisting as you go to form links. Mix together all ingredients (except for the casings!). Take a small amount and fry or microwave it up and then taste for seasoning, and adjust seasoning if necessary Once seasoned to your liking, use a wide mouthed funnel (I often cut a water bottle and use that as a funnel) stuck into the end of a sausage casing, and then press the meat through the funnel into the casing. Divide the casing into links by twisting at intervals, and then refrigerate for a day or twoHusband, Father, Grandfather and Chef of the Home Front. XL BGE- purchased on 5/28/2014
