Fair enough!

So first to the faggots:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faggot_(food)

Faggots are a traditional dish in the UK,[1][2] especially South and Mid
Wales and the Midlands of England.[3][4][5] It is made from meat
off-cuts and offal, especially pork.[3] A faggot is traditionally made
from pig's heart, liver and fatty belly meat or bacon minced together,
with herbs added for flavouring and sometimes bread crumbs.

Faggots originated as a traditional cheap food of ordinary country
people in Western England, particularly west Wiltshire and the West
Midlands.[6] Their popularity spread from there, especially to South
Wales in the mid-nineteenth century, when many agricultural workers left
the land to work in the rapidly expanding industry and mines of that
area. Faggots are also known as "ducks" in the Yorkshire, Lincolnshire
and Lancashire, often as "Savoury Ducks". The first use of the term in
print was in the Manchester Courier and Lancashire General Advertiser of
Saturday 3 June 1843, a news report of a gluttonous man who ate twenty
of them.[7]

The first use in print cited in the Oxford English Dictionary is in
1851, from Henry Mayhew, where he describes a dish identical to the
modern product with chopped liver and lights in an outer wrapper of
caul. This was in London.

(I had NO idea!)

Now the product itself:

http://www.barelyedible.co.uk/2012/0...-pork-faggots/

It says on the packaging You asked for it! Now with more sauce,
thinking this must be pretty good, I tried the sauce/gravy first. I
wasnt disappointed. I will go as far and say it was the tastiest sauce
Ive eaten so for in this voyage of culinary discovery. The faggots
themselves are like a soft meatball and have a slightly haggis like
smell (which I love). They have a distinct liver and sage taste, with a
hint mace and pepper. Not bad at all. By now our Bengal cat was whining
at my feet expectantly. I shouted out to my partner these are lovely!
to which she replied well they smell f**king disgusting. I looked down
at the cat with a smug look on my face and said, youre not getting any
of these, son and polished off the lot.

Ingredients

West Country Sauce 62%: Water, Lard, Wheat Flour, Modified Maze Starch,
Tomato Puree, Salt, Colour (E150c), Yeast Extract, Onion Flavour, Sugar,
Herb & Spice extract.

Pork Faggots 38%: Water, Rusks, Rehydrated Pork Rinds, Pork Liver (15%),
Pork (4%), Pork Fat, Wheat Flour, Salt, Sage, Spice Extract.

It's a pudding, then. Or is it a sausage?

The ones I've eaten, admittedly many years ago, were essentially meat balls.
Other UK charcuterie includes Haslet (pronounced hay-ss-let) and stuffed
chine, the latter being confined to Lincolnshire.
