Advantages: They taste lush and they have more gravy now!
Disadvantages: They take a long time to cook
Well you will all be very please to hear that someone has been listening to us!! Nearly every review I have read for Mr Brain's pork Faggots has suggested a lack of gravy, which I would totally agree with in the past. However, no more! I fancied faggots for tea so popped to Tesco to buy some and picked up a four pack of faggots the box stated "YOU ASKED FOR IT! NOW WITH MORE SAUCE!" I am so impressed. Power to the people!!
Mr Brain's pork faggots can be found in most supermarkets they come in packs of two, four and six. They come in a yellow box with a picture of faggots with mash and peas, which in my opinion is the best thing to have them with. The pack of four faggots I bought in Tesco cost me £1.29 I have seen then on offer and a lot cheaper but I wanted them today and I did not care what they cost me!
The faggots can be cooked in the oven or microwave I have never cooked them in the microwave as I think food tastes better oven cooked. They take about 12 minutes in the microwave. Faggots are best cooked from frozen but I find they take ages to defrost in the oven so I microwave mine until they have defrosted a bit. In the oven, I transfer them into a Teflon dish they take nearly an hour in the oven at 230C. When I emptied them out of the foil tray into the ovenproof dish, I did not think they looked like they had any extra gravy. I left them to cook. Once cooked I plated with sweet potatoes mash, peas and carrots. There was a lot more gravy then usually by this stage.
The faggots tasted fantastic as always they are not hard or gritty at all, they are lovely and the gravy is even more lovely it is made from the meat juices I think always the nicest gravy! Sometimes I cook some onions in the oven to have with it but I did not do that this time.
The faggots themselves are a good side 2 should be enough for most people. The faggots taste of meat and mildly of onion; they are rounded into lovely round balls. Faggots have stood the test of time they are an old traditional food.
I think the faggots with the new improved extra gravy are fantastic they have made a great meal into a perfect meal!
I would recommend you give these another go!
Summary: Mr Brain's Faggots with extra gravy!
