It now occurs to me that the only “faggots” I have seen are those of Mr. Brain. Did he patent the recipe, or what?
I gotta tell YOU KNOW WHO here in Topeka about these things! maybe it would give him a final apoplectic fit!
What is this faggot+brain connection? I have mentioned earlier that a friends address was “Faggot Yard, Braintree” in England.
I remember seeing, many years ago, I believe it was in National Lampoon’s weird photos section (though I’m not sure), but it was a magazine ad with the slogan “Faggots? What a saucy idea!”
Mmmmm, faggots with onion gravy, yep, they are for real; soft meatballs made from offal - traditionally liver and lights(lungs) - sounds yucky, I know, but they are truly delicious - Mr Brain’s* being the leading brand - they don’t actually contain brains, they are named after a Mr Brain (who may or may not be a real person).
I imagine the American reaction to (UK)‘Faggots’ is qualitatively similar to the UK reaction to (USA)‘Fanny Pack’ (‘fanny’ being a UK colloquialism for the female genitalia).
Oh dear lord.
I’m dyin’ over here.
OK, I am off to the Shop Rite, and I am bound and determined to bring a faggot home with me! There I’ll be in the Customer Service aisle, shouting, “What do you mean you have no faggots here? What the hell kind of grocery store has no faggots? Dammit, I need to eat a faggot right now!”

I was in ASDA last night and saw Mr Brains pork faggots in the Freezers 
I couldn’t help but laugh!
Back in the Good Old Days when Marks and Spencer was still in business in Canada, you could by Marks and Sparks own brand faggots. Dunno if you can get them anywhere in the States, though.
When I first moved to England I was really confused by the difference between “fags” (i.e. cigarettes) and “faggots” (pork sausages). I couldn’t figure out why people wanted to eat their ciggies in rich gravy.
I think I have something in common with Janet:
Oh, dear God. There is Faggot News? I can hardly wait to see what that entails.
Robin
probably entails entrails 
There’s pretty good chance they’d change the name for the US version, I’ll wager.
Not nearly as amusing, but these guys seem to think fags are balls of steel.
I’m appalled, yet strangely aroused…
If only I weren’t vegetarian.
I come of proud British extraction, but I’ve never heard of these things. I have to get back over there, and see this stuff for real…
I also need the ‘Coke all over the screen’ smilie, please.
I wonder who won the freezer full of faggots. Did anyone attend the Faggot Roadshow the article mentions?
(jumping up and down)
PICK ME!! PICK ME!! PICK ME!!
Eve, you had your chance to run off with me at the Algonquin. sigh.
But I could handle having some faggot’s sausage down my throat.
The faggots come with a rich sauce. This may have been more than I actually wanted to know. Are you only permitted to nibble upon your faggots or do they expect you to swallow them whole? [insert shocked smilie >here<]
Some enterprising soul should prepackage the sausage in a condom. Think of the benefits:
-
One trip to the grocery saves another to the apothecary.
-
Pre-lubed with the aforementioned rich sauce.
-
With the packaging in place, you’re ready for a banger.
