My family lived in Ireland for several years, LOVED bangers and mash. This recipe is spot-on perfect, provided you can get real bangers. Imagine my delight when I spotted them today in a refrigerated case (for a limited time only) at Trader Joe's. What a great St. Paddy's Day it turned out to be:). If you're lucky enough to have a TJ's nearby, rush right out and get the sausages and make this great recipe. It's as good as any you'll ever get in any pub on the olde sod!

I made this tonight and my husband said it was one of the best things he's ever had. I even took the advice of another reviewer and accompanied it with the Italian Peas also on this website. Absolute perfection! I followed the recipe exactly and couldn't believe how easy and simple it was. The only change I made was that I had a strawberry chocolate balsamic which I substituted for the wine vinegar. Great flavor. I also doubled the raspberry sauce and I have enough left for another meal. Can't wait to try it with chicken breasts. This recipe is a major winner!

This is a first. I am writing this review while my chops are still cooking. I followed the suggestion of other reviewers and added additional sherry/cornstarch for the final ten minutes. Between the wonderful aroma filling my kitchen and the sight of those beautiful chops and apples, I lost all self-control and snitched a sample. It is one of the most delicious dishes I've ever tasted. I can't wait to see the expression on my husband's face when he takes his first bite. I can tell already I'll be making it again soon.
