Gabriel this dish is new to me. I checked it on Wiki and must say it reveals an eclectic taste.

But FAGGOTS Gabe???
As far as I was told by my (Danish) mother, with a trembling voice of horror, they are something folks in England were reduced to eating during & after the war when we still had food rationing here. Made up of scraps of anything leftover that could be found, moulded into some sort of ball with sweepings from the kitchen floor & fried in lard. If you could get any lard.
But Gabe, you might mean something else?
Your mum didn't know about haggis Stranding?
Faggots. I used to enjoy a meal of faggots chips and mushy peas all wrapped up in the previous day's newspaper. Our local chippie did a roaring trade.

The subject of doughnut peaches was raised on another thread by YT.
What a delicious fruit. We are instant converts here at home. I will be putting the ripened peaches into the 'fridge - the cooler and juicier the better

NOOOO!!! A very well-kept secret; she would have erupted in a Stanway fountain of glottal stops
As for faggotschipsnmushypeas we didn' 'ave such like our way. Genteel, we were, in 'Erne 'Ill, nex' door to Dullige
My dear H, however, a proper Eastender, still talks reverently about memories of piechips&likker. Not to mention jelliedeels...

Ah, you mean bearded cheeks with dimples???
What delicious thoughts
Never met up with them for real.
Obviously should get out more
Any spare cold juicy ones would be very well received here...!!

That's funny, because there is an episode of Upstairs, Downstairs set in wartime, when wealthy households try to pitch in by eating patriotic meals made of food odds and ends that would normally be discarded. The cook character, Mrs. Bridges, unveils one such dish during the servants' meal and says something like "You'll never guess what this is!" Someone guesses "Faggots!" And Mrs. Bridges responds in horror that she'd never let faggots be served in the household, lol.

For a moment, thought an enterprising & exceedingly on-the-ball supplier had printed off some packaging---since last night's win!! Wow, that's as quick as a Speeding Bolt, I thought
Where are ours? Have you gorged on them all already?

There you go! Hence my Mum's horrified reaction
The thought that now, a manufacturer ( especially one with the name of BRAIN) is making them commercially & is obviously selling enough to make it worthwhile, is astonishing...yet Gabe apparently eats them with relish! Gabe, you must be very, very young............
But it's interesting. A good example of how attitudes, once commonly held, can very quickly get collectively forgotten or turned upside down.
