I like my faggots a bit rare.

From Helen comes a delightfully British item about the Doody family. Seems they've just been named The Faggot Family of Britain.
A West Midlands family is playing a central role in the quest to raise the profile of ... faggots.The Doody family from Wolverhampton has been crowned The Faggot Family in a national competition, and to kick off their reign they will launch National Faggot Week.
"...all too often the faggot is left off [the national] list," said Janet Doody.
Her husband Fred added: "It's unfair because faggots were British ... long before any of the others.
"The great British faggot is full of flavour and a great belly warmer at this time of year."
Some little known facts:
- Faggots were called "savoury ducks" in the Middle Ages
- Faggots were named after the Latin word for bundle
- Fans have published the Good Faggot Guide

"mushy peas"? Now, that's just gross....
Jim - I'm not sure you want the traffic the apparent google-baited post will generate...
Speakin’ of… Any pimpin emails lately?
It's not Googlebaiting, I'm really that immature! It's true, just ask Lovely Wife.
The pimps are getting out of control. More on that tomorrow (hopefully - no promises on when posts will happen will be kept for the near future).
I like mine smeared with chocolate.
What?
I like mine boxed and shaken...
???
Oddly enough I had Faggots, chips and peas last night.
My mum was most upset as her mushy peas didn't (and for the record, taking wet peas and sticking them in the food processor does not make them mushy ... it makes them gross!)
Another interesting point is that Brains (the makers of the finest faggots in the world) recently went into recievership ... I can't think why, one would have thought "Brains' Faggots" would sell like hot cakes!
They should have branched out and sold hot cakes too. When you sell hot cakes they always sell like hot cakes. Even if you don't sell a damn one of them they're still selling like hot cakes by definition!
Yeah, hot cakes are the business to be in, I tell you what.
