Advantages: easy to cook and delicious

Disadvantages: can take 45 minutes in a over

As we are having faggots for dinner I thought that I would do a dooyoo on them.

I must admit that I think of faggots as one of those old fashioned meals if there is such a thing.

The ones I buy are Mr. Brains.

They were first made by Herbert Hill Brain who was a butcher from Bristol and they are apparently made exactly the same way as they were when first made in 1925.

They are pork faggots. Made from pork liver and fat. Oh I know that doesnt sound appetising but they are.

They come in a container of either 4 or 6. You can at the moment get them as cheap as 99p for 4.

You loosen the cardboard lid and place them in the over for around 45 minutes. You can now also microwave them by transfering them onto a mic rowaveable plate and microwaving them for 7 minutes. Stir and then cook for another 8 minutes.

I have never tried them microwaved and I dont really fancy them done that way although I am sure they would be okay.

They go lovely with potatoes either boiled or mashed and gravy and peas. Yes, they do come with gravy but I have found that they never give you enough. The sauce or gravy does have a lovely oniony taste and it is quite thick.

I would really recommend that you try them as you will find that you will love them.

Mind you I prefer these Brains ones to the butchers own made.

Thank you for reading.

Summary: They have a taste like no other and with potato and peas the gravy is super too
