Faggots

[Sciroccology]

No, sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not talking about gay men.

I'm talking about the tasty produce of Mr Brain.

Brain's Faggots. Yummy, scrummy and lovely.

I've just had 6 of the lovelies, ensconced in a giant Yorkshire pudding.

Num num num.

Jabba! Most I ever eat is 4 at a time, with chips and peas

what are they and what do they taste like?
Meat dumplings?

I know I oculd use google for this but this is primary evidence...my GCSE history teacher would be proud of me

Forgive me for not being sold on them from the description so far....
Mind you...black pudding and haggis I can eat so maybe...

Mr Brain's faggots are better minced than all the 'real' ones I've had in the Black Country, and better for it. You can't tell what unsavoury things were used to make them.

Lightweight... 6 with peas and Smash.. How's that for a nutritiously balanced meal

brains are just pork liver and onion though iirc, so probably a safe bet

It's which part of the porker that's of interest. I don't care though, they're still nice.

Magic word. That'd have me bowking instantly.
How anyone can eat liver or kidney is beyond me.
Filthy perverts.

Oh, they are offal.

But I like them.

have to say ordinarily I can't think about offal (liver included) without getting the bowk, but haggis, faggots and the like are exemptions.

Liver and kidney, coated in flour and then fried with a lovely thick onion gravy. Heaven!

It's strange how anything becomes more palatable when you mince it or pulverise it.

"meat paste"...as Jack Dee (IIRC) said, can you think of any two words that are more vague than that, individually, let alone together?

Whereas that's just plain, plain wrong

It's the culinary equivalent of stockings, FMB's and a basque
