Advantages: Easy to cook, just pop in oven and done, lovely taste, filling

Disadvantages: Addictive

As its Sunday the day of roast dinners, sausage and mash and other gorgeous comfort foods i thought i would review Mr Brains Faggots as they are one of my favourite foods, so filling and comforting.

Mr Brains Faggots come in 3 pack sizes of 2, 4 or 6 Faggots which is good as means no waste if you live on your own and only want 2 or you can buy a pack of 6 to feed the family.

I personally always buy the 4 pack and eat all 4 myself with a helping of mashed potato.

Mr Brains Faggots are readily available from all supermarkets and frozen food outlets, i buy mine from Iceland at £1 for a 4 pack.

There are 2 ways of cooking this product, you can cook them in the oven for approx 30 - 40 minutes at 230c or cook in the microwave for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.

I prefer to cook them in the oven as am normally cooking my other half a toad in the hole at the same time, i have never used the microwave option not sure how they would turn out.

The faggots are really meaty and a good size and have a nice hint of onion them and the gravy they are cooked in is always smooth and goes lovely with mash and peas, i always have a lovely warm feeling after eating this meal.

The ingredients of the faggots is below:

Water, Pork 11% (Pork Liver, Pork), Pork Rind, Rusk, Onion, Wheatflour, Lard, Salt, Modified Waxy Maize Starch, Tomato Purée, Flavourings, Colour (E150c), Sugar, Herbs, Spices
