Mr. Brains Faggots* anyone?
'Here's a message for Faggot-lovers everywhere.'
Does anyone remember these? I don?t but my friend Trish does, so as a gift to her, I seached high and low on the net for the advert ? they even had a theme song- but had no luck, its killing me, I want to find it just to see if it will jog my memory!! There is even a ?Faggot Family? for Jasus sake!
*faggots are balls of low quality pork, basically pork liver and shredded pork meat, and offal ? ew! I am wondering has anyone ever tried these? I think I would most definitely vomit at the smell, but some people would eat anything!

Interesting... From Wikipedia, I garnered the following information:
These "commercially available faggots differ significantly from the traditional recipe". The traditional recipe is "pig heart, liver and fatty belly meat or bacon minced together, with herbs added for flavouring and sometimes breadcrumbs. The mixture is shaped in the hand into balls, and wrapped round with 'caul' (the lining from the pig's stomach), and baked".
So it's a bit like a haggis then. Only less 'Scottish'.

These faggots, (Mr. Brains ones yeah) were not the original recipe of faggots though, they seem to be coated in some sort of breadcrumby thing, and at one time they came with a free tin of mushy peas - vomit!

But Adrian, even if you DID eat swine, would you eat faggots?

Em, that's disgusting man! Tripe is just plain wrong!

It was that or risk being culturally insensitive.

I admit that one of my well known phrases is: you should always eat with an open mind, but tripe is in dog food so that's a no go area, are you with me?
