@stueytheround What in the absolute hell is a pork faggot? HOW IS THIS A THING?
@stueytheround I know the use of the word for a bundle of sticks, a book of matches, and a cigarette. This is the first time I have heard it used for a meatball.
@jasod @stueytheround Imagine our amusement transitioning through RAF Fairford when we saw these with our own eyes.
@jasod If I'm remembering rightly, the word means the 'tail end' or 'waste part' of something so culturally speaking, faggots would be similar to something like chittlins! Using everything but the squeal.
@stueytheround We have similar things here. Scrapple, Head Cheese, Bologna all come to mind.
@jasod Poor people's food. Filling, tasty, nutritious and inexpensive. Even today, that dinner for two of us cost under two pounds.
@stueytheround @jasod A staple food of the inevitable zombie apocalypse.
@jasod Essentially, it's a spiced pork meatball in a very rich gravy and it is very, very nice. The "Mr Brains" brand is the best known and I think the unfortunate name is now a bit of a joke!
