Why our bangers are losing their noise
Carla George
BBC Local Live, Lincolnshire
British bangers are losing their noise because modern recipes are leaner and healthier, scientists have found.
A study found that today's sausages made much less of a sizzle when being cooked because they generally contain less fat and water than older traditional recipes.
Food researchers even found that each type of sausage could be identified by the sizzle it made in the pan.

Sausages became known as bangers because of the loud sizzle and pop they made when being cooked.
