The “bangers and mash” dating test

I made bangers and mash again this evening. I had some ideas about relationships as a result.

Here’s some advice for men who are considering getting more serious about a relationship with someone they’re “seeing” on a somewhat casual basis: make them bangers and mash.

For the uninitiated, bangers and mash is a dish consisting of two to three “bangers” (sausages), mash (potatoes) and gravy (gravy). If done well, it’s a culinary masterpiece. If done poorly, it’s potatoes and sausage.

Anyway, here’s the thing. Watch how your intended is eating the bangers. If she eats them all at the same time – a bite from each – then I strongly caution you to be wary of her. She’s into taking advantage of multiple simultaneous bangers. If, on the other hand, she eats one banger completely then moves on to another, you ought to start taking her more seriously: she’s a one-banger girl.
