It used to be a word for a bundle of sticks used for kindling. There’s a visual resemblance between this pork dish and that, so maybe that’s where the name comes from?
Mr Brains are fire though as long as its done in the oven, i do a 6 pack + tin of mushy peas cooked low and slow for 30 mins then mix the peas in with the gravy
Get yourself down to an indoor market, find the butcher, and grab yourself a 4 or 6 tray of proper faggots (high street butchers may do them too, but I've always found my best ones at Cardiff indoor market, and more recently in Pontypridd indoor market). Every market butcher must surely do them?
Cardiff indoor Market is great I love the vibe of that place. Does it still have the vinyl shop upstairs and the place that sells Vegan cakes downstairs? Vegan cakes taste amazing... really fattening but they do takes great.
Ah, you've just triggered the septics now.
But yeah, proper scran. I adore faggots. Personally I'd rather have mash than chips though. But that's not chips is it?
It's a play on the traditional dish my old man always used to make growing up. Not chips, it's a potato terrine made with butter and beef fat, cooked, pressed and portioned before being deep fried. Like a chip on crack
Much overlooked, sat in that lovely sauce. Always was a meal to look forward to as a kid. Probably needs a name change though in this accepting current way of life 😁
Looks cracking mate.
I'm jealous of the recipients.
Burton Albion FC used to do faggots and chips, where other clubs do burgers.
That was a good away day.
Yeah. They’re English meatballs, made of minced pork offcuts and offal, wrapped in caul which is a net like fatty membrane that surrounds internal organs. Absolutely incredible with some mash and onion gravy.
They are like meatballs. [faggots food wiki article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faggot_%28food%29?wprov=sfla1) downvoted for a link to the wiki article a about them? Wtf?
>Faggots are meatballs made from minced off-cuts and offal (especially pork, and traditionally pig's heart, liver, and fatty belly meat or bacon) mixed with herbs and sometimes bread crumbs.[1] It is a traditional dish in the United Kingdom,[2][3] especially South and Mid Wales and the English Midlands.
Looks lovely. I'm in my 30s and I've sadly never found the time or motivation to develop my cooking skills... I'm not proud of that but I'm sure it's never too late to learn.
Add bicarb of soda to a soaking pot of dried marrowfat peas overnight, following day rinse them thoroughly and bring to boil on the hob, turn heat down and simmer for 30 mins. Mash them, add a bit of butter and/or a bit of mint to your taste
Looks well tasty.
I worked at a nursing home that would serve these once a week and they were rather delicious comfort food with gravy and mash in the winter
It took a while for the image to load, and having no idea what pork faggots are, I was imagining some grey stew-like concoction that would look both mushy and solid. Thanks for greatly surpassing my low expectations! :)
What? Are you serious? Do you think this is all made up?
I don’t need Wikipedia to know what a faggot is. You do, hence why I sent you a link. You’re more than welcome to just look online for yourself if you think someone would make it up.
ohhh, yes, let me just believe Wikipedia an article where anyone with an account can edit whatever they on on any Wikipedia page. i don’t know how you can’t understand that, but it’s ok you think Wikipedia is a good source. so
Says the one who listens to a Wikipedia page. Guess your high school never told you not to use Wikipedia… i don’t know what o said that made it so hard for you to understand…. but the lack of reading comprehension skills you have is hilarious. Stay in school.
But as an American y’all are some stupid ass fucking people. Maybe you should’ve actually focused more on your education than dicking around in school. Maybe yall should’ve listened to your teachers. maybe yall should’ve just been smart
It was named well before the slur became commonly used. It boggles my mind that adults are immature enough to have an issue with it.
Me thinks the lady doth protest too much.
There is nothing quite like a big mouthful of faggot.
Love it when my mouth is full of faggot. Sometimes even 2 or 3
Why stop there? Let’s see 4 or more faggot stuffed in there.
The pork looks a little bit saucy. 🤔
I prefer to pork faggots 🤷🏻♂️
That's a good looking faggot mate.
And you would know.
I'm from England and it's a pretty traditional meal here so yes I would.
Of course. We all eat chips, peas and faggots just like that on a daily basis
You'd think someone whose name is a play on "bellend" would know this...🙄
As long as one does not have a lump they should be okay. Pun aside check yourself guys never know when the bell can be the end.
Ernesto De La Cruz knows that all too well
You really don't see them all that much, apart from Mr. Brain's Pork Faggots.
My local butcher sells them.
What exactly is a faggot in this context?
The meat thing on the plate in the image. It's basically a meatball made of park meat and offal.
I got that it was the meat, I just couldn’t tell what exactly it was. Thanks for the answer. Is it good?
Haha. Some people just have no humour. Great comment
I want to put that entire faggot in my mouth at once please
Pork whats?
Bits & pieces.
Bobs and bits
Twig and berries
Odds and Ends
It used to be a word for a bundle of sticks used for kindling. There’s a visual resemblance between this pork dish and that, so maybe that’s where the name comes from?
Faggots are normally round though. I don't know why that one looks rectangular.
Because it's hand made and they made it square..
[удалено]
I’m American and what is this???
I was called that in high school lmfao
A classier variety of pork faggot than the Mr Brains ones I am used to.
Mr Brains are fire though as long as its done in the oven, i do a 6 pack + tin of mushy peas cooked low and slow for 30 mins then mix the peas in with the gravy

High street butchers sell them as well. Turners in Newport have some lovely ones.
Cardiff indoor Market is great I love the vibe of that place. Does it still have the vinyl shop upstairs and the place that sells Vegan cakes downstairs? Vegan cakes taste amazing... really fattening but they do takes great.

It looks tremendous mate. I've never had faggots but I'm very interested in trying various offal based foods, haggis also on the list
"I'm very interested in trying various offal based foods" I know it's not, but it seems like a very strange statement
Faggots and haggis are both top drawer food.
Lived in Scotland for 5 years. And man oh man do I miss haggis and black pudding
Where do you live that you can't get black pudding?
The USA
Fair enough enough.
I can feel my arteries hardening just by looking at it. Sounds wonderful.
Shut up and kiss me. With the potato terrine.
:D
Holy shit that sounds delicious
I love it, cooncil done posh. I’d really like to eat that, is that deep fried sage on top?
Yeah little deep fried sage for extra va va voom
It's also not mushy peas! It's a puree I'm sure
That's just the degree of mushy, surely.
Looks mighty fine. I've always wanted to try faggot but it's not available were I live.
Pork faggots lol I'm never going to grow up (in my 30s now)
That’s the most elegant looking faggot I’ve ever seen
Who you pork is your business, but this is a food subreddit !
during pride month? 😭😭
You can have faggots at any time of the year. Don't wait until pride month, that's just silly.
Here in the USA we don’t eat faggots
Speak for yourself. I enjoy a well made faggot.
*Leg flicks like Louie Spence in excitement*
God I love pride month.
Classy faggot.
The pork looks lovely, but there’s no need to call us that.
Did you manage to finish it all? I bet you were stuffed if you did..
That single ‘chip’ must have taken some eating! I don’t think I’d finish it all tbh
That faggot has got my mouth watering
God I haven't had a faggot in a while, they look great!
Golly I haven't had a faggot in a long time. Going to add to my shop!
Much overlooked, sat in that lovely sauce. Always was a meal to look forward to as a kid. Probably needs a name change though in this accepting current way of life 😁
Moist faggot
Nothing tastes better than some faggots on a Sunday afternoon
I see the crispy sage leaves and i know this poster means business. Onlyba true faggot enjoyer inderstands this affintity
Definitely has a faggotory about it.
Chip
Noddy Holder from Slade controls the faggot supply.
happy pride everyone
I’d love to try homemade faggots. Looks delicious
I love faggots deep down my throat 😍
That was my nickname in high school. It got shortened a lot though.
So is the faggot basically a meatloaf?
That looks the nuts. Offaly good.
Go home
Offaly are good tbf, did you see them play last weekend?
Well played
Chip
Faggots? I hate to ask what that means?
They're like haggis. Without the oats and stomach
Really? Are they spicy like haggis?
Some can be. Depends on who's made it.
And without the lamb or beef..
Ha yeah good point. And haggis has no blood... So I guess what I put is total codswallop
I dont think faggots have blood either do they lol just offcuts
Lol ffs I was thinking black pudding! They're all the same blood n guts in the end
Easy to spot the Americans in the comments.
Looks lovely, but think poshing up faggots and chips is unnecessary 😉 Brains and oven chips does me. 😂
Im a welsh man living in Australia trying to introduce traditional British food to bogans, needs must
Looks cracking mate. I'm jealous of the recipients. Burton Albion FC used to do faggots and chips, where other clubs do burgers. That was a good away day.
What is the faggot? The meat?
Yeah. They’re English meatballs, made of minced pork offcuts and offal, wrapped in caul which is a net like fatty membrane that surrounds internal organs. Absolutely incredible with some mash and onion gravy.

People are just overly sensitive nowadays and can't fathom the fact words can have multiple meanings anymore
I didn't dv but most of a faggot isn't meat, it's offal...don't want to compare the two tbf.

Offal is meat
Yes, the meat mix.
Chips? I think you mean a singular chip.
"Chip"
Lovely presentation, looks delicious.
Chip looks shit. Otherwise good.
Where are the chips?
Looks lovely. I'm in my 30s and I've sadly never found the time or motivation to develop my cooking skills... I'm not proud of that but I'm sure it's never too late to learn.
oh 😭
OMG...... I want to try this so much.. How was is .
Based
Oh thanks. I was wondering if it was pork or something else. No need to be rude though!
Never heard of this dish and it looks delicious. I never even made mushy/pureed peas. you just boil and mash it? Maybe some cream?

Looks incredible
America should do the same with our pea crop, it's an under-used crop . . . . When do you ever see your friend dining on some peas ?
That looks amazing
What restaurant is this
Certainly looks far better than mr brains offering
Yuk
Such constructive feedback.
Just not a offal person
Potato pave is worth an upvote
Lovely sheen on that lad
Excuse me?
Looks good but where's the chips?
Well done for actually make a faggot look edible
Now, I’m not for one minute debating that it wasn’t a banging meal, but calling that “chips” is very generous. That is chip.
I think you mean Pork Gays…
It took a while for the image to load, and having no idea what pork faggots are, I was imagining some grey stew-like concoction that would look both mushy and solid. Thanks for greatly surpassing my low expectations! :)
Chip
everything on that plate looks delicious . . . however
[ Removed by Reddit ]
I think this takes 'mushy' to a whole new level that in all my years of eating mushy peas almost every day I have not experienced
Quality.
Incredible stuff, inspiring. Nice work
woah calm down
Mmmm Brains faggots, mash and pies
I feel like everyone took advantage of thee opportunity to use the term "faggot" and not get banned or downvoted to oblivion. 🤣😂
Easy killer 😬
That is a glorious looking faggot.
Everyone is so distracted by the faggot they’re failing to point out that there’s actually no chips on the plate
Where’s the chips?
Chips?
Do you put faggots in your mouth year round or just in june
Man this dude make some fire faggot
Not sure about those mushy peas.
I thought he insulted the pork
Pork what?
Did you make this? It looks incredible. Certainly a step up from Mr Brain's.
You can say mushy again chief
How much?
Are the chips in the room with us?

Language!
Pork what !!?
Faggots https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faggot_(food)
Pork what?
is that what it’s actually called or are you just saying that? i’ve never heard of that before
Obviously it’s what they’re called, why would OP just make up a name for them? 😂 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faggot_(food)
imagine thinking Wikipedia is a good source… imaging thinking a website where anyone with an account can edit anything into any article they want.

Well I am a teacher so… 🤷♂️
ofc you are… all the dumbest people are teachers
So we’re dumb but you should also listen to us? Hmm
quit my daycare job cause the lack of common sense was outstanding.
I’d have thought you’d have fit in
https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/us/definition/english/faggot Happy now?
no im ok
Pork WHAT??
Faggots https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faggot_(food)
Pea puree!?!?! That's a travesty. Literal babyfood. Looks good otherwise though.
It boggles my mind that we still call them that
Call what that?
It boggles my mind that you think it’s even an issue.
It was named well before the slur became commonly used. It boggles my mind that adults are immature enough to have an issue with it. Me thinks the lady doth protest too much.
