A faggot, Llanharan, August 3, 2009

The butcher shop was closed because it was Monday but the fish and chips shop was open, and these are pictures of the two shops, and Joy, and the food (out of the tray and onto a plate at her house) and the bag it came in. And the last photo is the two pieces of fish we got. I put my hands in for scale. They were HUGE.

Below all that, I'll link recipes and history and other photos (soon).

"Lunch would always be home made faggots with peas, all smothered in Bovril gravy with slabs of fresh white bread, thick with real butter..."

Welsh Faggots

These are also known as 'poor man's goose' or 'savoury duck' and are a traditional, filling and economical dish. The word faggots is a corruption of fegato, the Italian for liver...

"Faggots are an old-fashioned British food, and one that has sadly fallen out of favor in recent years."
