One of the best sausage meals I’ve ever had was in Northumbria. It was a local sausage, not a banger, and it was delicious.
Funny. 
Where I grew up, there was a high concentration of English, Scots and Irish, so pretty strong British food choices.
The British connection in my province has gradually weakened since I was a wee lad, and food options have shifted accordingly.
I can get access to all of those locally, except the two puddings. 
What’s for tea, daughter? 
Darling, I said what’s for tea?
Beans on toast!
I’ll put the kettle on.
I now live 1.5 miles from the place. Alas their earliest opening hours are 11 am.
That looks like it might be eggs and bacon. Or eggs, sausage and bacon. Maybe egg and Spam. Um, egg, bacon, sausage and Spam?
At least the baked beans weren’t off.
No spam - bangers, Irish bacon, eggs, black pudding, white pudding, tomatoes, mushrooms, beans, and toast, with HP sauce and a pint of Kilkenny cream ale.
Toast, toast, toast, toast
Toast, toast, toast, toast
Lovely toooooooast, wunnerful tooooast. 
Yeah, it basically means anything except what the USA calls ‘pudding’ (that’s ‘custard’ here)
I didn’t realize there was really a difference between bangers and those fat link-type sausages but the two times I spent in the UK , we stayed at B & Bs and had either a full Scottish, English or Welsh breakfast each morning and the sausages were always different. The Leeds version of this breakfast sausage and/or banger was amazing, I still wish I could find that sage-y nice fat sausage. It does get overwhelming to eat daily but we foundered ourselves anyways.
I also didn’t like the blood pudding additions though I did like haggis in Scotland in various versions, only once at breakfast I think. Also just the different breads ranging from potato cakes, to welsh seaweed cakes (not great tbh) and different toasts, scones, breads, etc. I did like any of the potato cakes or scones but especially enjoy just a good toast with the tomato & mushroom on top.
I suppose it’s worth mentioning that, aside from the things that are so poorly made they can only be legally called ‘bangers’, not sausages, the term ‘bangers’ is also used as a piece of more generic slang for any other kind of sausage, especially if it is being served with mashed potatoes.
So your custard can be solely starch-thickened? For me, custard is egg-thickened, while American pudding is starch or flour-thickened.
Yes, most custard in England is made from cornstarch, thanks to this guy
People make and eat egg custards, but it’s less common than the cornstarch version.
Brown bread is easy to make yourself if you can get very coarse flour.

That’s not Irish, is it?
Yes I am aware haggis is not considered stereotypically Irish, nor is Penclawdd cockle… or Spam
Now in Ulysses Bloom eats for breakfast a pork kidney pan-fried in butter, so as far I am concerned that makes it super Irish.
When we did 12 days at a different B&B each night, every breakfast was a little different each time. Never had the same bread recipe at two places. It became a humorous game, which ~7 ingredients out of the possible 10-12 options will this place include? Sometime baked beans, sometimes tomatoes, always black pudding but not always white too, etc.
TIL. I always thought “bangers” was British for large sausage. Kind of like taking the pram in the lift from your flat to the lorry.
