I want some Rich West Country Sauce!
Aye, I saw a trailer for the BBC2 documentary that Kal mentioned, about this new PR and advertising campaign. I’ve been aware of Mr Brain’s Faggots for years, though. Never had one myself.
Since DDG apparently won’t touch this thread with a fourteen-inch pole, here’s some Googling on the subject:
Making Spam into Faggots (a useful skill for Web-literate gays, no doubt)
How Hazel Wattle Products employs faggots
Another recipe. “You will notice this recipe calls for a pig’s caul. Don’t ask. Make the faggots without it.” Is that considered safe in these days of STDs?? :eek:
Over 95% of Brits surveyed approve of Mr. Brain’s Faggots
Faggots were always popular back in Welsh history.
Faggots in Print (The co-author is proprietor of “Grorty Dick’s”.)
Another commercial source of faggots. (Small faggots cost £7.18 per kilo, large faggots only £6.79 – I would have thought that pricing would be the other way around!)

Just some pictures of faggots fans

So that’s what the gardening column in Southern Voice was all about!

As the Ac-Tore said to his Penpal, I’ve only just come across your post …
Not mine, dahlinggg, but I do understand. Fwiw, by the look of some of the seedier regulars at ‘Go Gay’ – who could easily have spent the previous evening showing the entire Viennese Boys Choir how best to sing an octave higher – in their hands, anything was possible …
My tummy hurts from laughing. I wonder if MY Shop-Rite carries them???
I have to assume there is a simply spectacular protein content per serving???
One of my links gave a nutritional assessment – they’re relatively high in fat (probably don’t spend enough time at the gym). I forebear from linking to Cecil’s comments on a related subject. 
From the Hazel Faggots site, on the use of wooden faggots: “Faggots are used to re-establish and repair banks, build
otter holts and to change the flow characteristics of rivers.”
Hmmm . . . I thought that was dikes, not faggots!
The cookbooks my parents brought over from England have recipes for faggots in them. Next time I’m over there, I’ll have to have a look at them and post some information about the recipe. On the otherhand, perhaps I should leave giving instructions on making faggots to the experts around here.
Hmmm. Those cookbooks also have recipes for desserts in them, including Spotted Dick. Anyone up for a rather bizarrely themed dinner party?

Whose favorite food is toad-in-the-hole
That’s were I got the original info about faggots from. The show was very funny to my childish mind 
I’m just wondering if they also make Brain’s Salad to eat with their faggots.
Oh, save a space for me at your table please? I adore toad-in-the-hole. Had it made for me by this delightful gentleman- English of course- who was the former headmaster of a school in Manhatten. It is indeed the perfect food.
YES! Yes yes yes yes yes!! hyperventilates
As I understood it, the old civil engineers in England, who were mostly male, were taught in school to use faggots whenever they felt a danger of damage through hydraulic pressure. Attempting to erect a dike, on the other hand, was a last-resort technique, fraught as it was with the possibility of catastrophic failure. The reference says that successfully making a dike involves great attention to the outlying breastworks. It also takes a great number of faggots to satisfactorily make a dike.
American engineers, though, must belong to a different school of thought. My Google search turned up a large number of sites which objected strenuously to faggots, some even feeling them to be forbidden by the Bible. It’s possible that unscrupulous faggot-makers have contributed to this dislike, since several sites complained of “diseased faggots” that the writer felt endangered the community. One man in particular had a very valid complaint: he had repeatedly encountered what he referred to as “pansy faggots.” And while those flowers are beautiful and hardy, their stems are hardly suitable for insertion into strong faggots, even in quantity.
This is, of course, a hijack into the erection of faggots along river banks, not the balls which the OP was making reference to, and I do apologize for the change of topic.
**Eve’s ** post reminds me of the ideal accompaniment for this dinner party:
at Mr. Brain’s, when you touch any of the site links (which are shaped like…meat balls), they…
bounce.
aaiiiieee :eek:
actually, the Faggot Stuffed Peppers recipe looks like something i can adapt using plain ol’ frozen meatballs.

I can’t help but think of some guys with the munchies…
“Hey man, let’s go eat some faggots!”
“I’m down with that…I hope they have rich gravy.”
Later…
“Hey, man…save me a faggot.” or “Don’t hog the faggots, dude.”
The classic" Don’t bogart that faggot, my friend"
Faggots aren’t much different from cheap American style Itallian Meatballs. They use up lots of the stronger tasting meat (liver heart tongue …) and are enjoyed by those who like their meat extra-meaty. Myself I don’t like the taste of liver so don’t enjoy them. The rich gravy and fagot combo with mashed potatoes is great if you like strong meats, and it’s lesser cousin bangers in rich gravey with mashed potatoes is great. Strangely enough such food is popular in English Private schools.
Private education teaches the art of eating hot rich faggots.
And they’ve already taken to the air
I can’t believe we missed National Faggot Week!
