Andy at Gill Wing has been concocting some fantastic faggots for us this
week. Traditionally British and made up of offal, pork liver, onions
and seasoning, faggots are easy and delicious to fry up quickly or
roast. Also known as 'savoury ducks' in the Midlands and North of
England. The word ultimately derives from the Greek phakelos meaning
'bundle'. A faggot was a bundle of sticks used for firewood, and it is
thought that this led to the dish being named after a bundle of offal.
Although traditionally a peasant dish that gained popularity in World
War II, faggots still remain a real treat when served up with mash and
peas in the cold weather. So we’re putting the retro product back on our
shelves for you to enjoy.
