Hhhmmm!!!!

Faggots are made from offal of course but then again most offal is edible, apart from the lights.
Liver, kidney, heart etc; we eat those without much fuss. the content of faggots is no different.
Here’s an analogy.....Muesli (the very clever Swiss innovation) was quite literally the sweepings up from the floor of the cereals processing plant, originally!
This was nothing more than a business incentive. The pretentious yuppies of the time decided that it fell within their remit and away you go!
It may not be swept from the plant floor these days but it is not produced via dedicated process and never will be.
Money for old rope......or old oats perhaps!

Faggots ’n paes is obviously a Black Country staple.

Never say a humorous thing to a man who does not possess humour. He will always use it in evidence against you.

One treat I recall from my time in the forces, compo cheese on hard-tack bikkies, with a good smear of compo jam, lovely whilst on radio duty at night.
