Faggot(food

A faggot is a kind of meatball. Faggots are a traditional dish in the UK, especiallythe midlands
of england. It is made from meat off-cunts and offal, especially pork. A faggot is traditionally made from pig's heart, liver and fatty belly meat or bacon minced together, with herbs added for flavouring and ssometimes bedcrumbs. The mixture is shaped in the hand into balls, wrapped round with foul fat and baked. A similar dish, almôndega, is traditional in Portugal. Another variation of Faggot is Pig's fry wrapped in pig's caul: the pig's fry and boiled onions are minced(ground) together then mixed with breadcrumbs or cold boiled potatoes, seasoned with sage, mixed herbs and pepper. All beaten together and then wrapped in small pieces of caul to form a ball. These are then baked in the oven. Usually served cold. This is from British Cookery edited by Lizzie Boyd.
