Faggots!
My dear other half has returned from the deli with 2 faggots - I have no idea what to do with them as there are no cooking instructions! Apologies for a silly question but as a veggie I have no idea if I roast, fry, grill or whatever.
Please help!

Personally, if it was me and I was a veggie (not going to happen
) and my other half gave me balls of offal wrapped in stomach lining and asked me to cook them then I would hand them straight back. As for cooking them, fry gently to get some colour then roast in the oven with gravy to cook through. There are many recipes on the net with cooking instructions. |

I just slice dry faggots through the middle, and gently fry them. They are delicious with eggs and bacon.
You can't beat Brains faggots if you want them in gravy -- I have a box in the freezer for my delectation. |

Just whack 'em in the oven for about 25 minutes. Serve with mashed spuds, peas and gravy.
I'm not a fan but my mum loves the ones our butcher makes - he regularly wins awards for them and supplies local markets and the Black Country Museum. They fight over them at Brierley Hill market! (it's a Black Country thing |

They are (probably) already cooked and just need to be heated through.
If the are attached to one another split them up and pop in the oven 160 - 180 C for 20 mins. Serve with mushy peas and a rich gravy. |

Make a meaty stock and cook in the oven. Served with mashed potatoes or a mixture of mashed carrot and celeriac.

I stuck them in the oven for half an hour - the amount of fat that came out of them was hideous, but the o/h liked them!
It is the first time I've ever encountered faggots, and hopefully the last - thanks everyone for your suggestions, next time he wants them for his tea I shall suggest he has a look on here for ideas and cooks them himself ![]() Sazzle, I like the idea of a faggot fight - my East Midlands faggots v's your Black Country ones

Think yourself lucky it was faggots and not a couple of pounds of Tripe ![]() I love faggots covered in a thick rich gravy, I also like Tripe cooked in milk with onions and mash, although I haven't had either for a very long time. |

All this meat - based chat has really turned my stomach. Tripe? I dread to think what that is like
![]() There seems to be a bit of a faggot v's haggis debate going on here. But which is better? There's only one way to find out. Fight! (takes cover from Mr Saz )

Having tried both my vote is with haggis. The nasty white stuff (caul) around the faggots is gross.

Well I'm actually a Brummie living in the Black Country (shhh, don't tell anyone, I'll get lynched) but I could send Mr Saz for a faggot fight, as he's a proper Yam Yam.

I can 2nd Broadbent & sons, shame you have to go to Coseley to get them though.
Bless Len though - he trains all of his new staff himself so that he knows they'll carry on the traditional methods of butchery. Although - if you're in Coseley you'd have the perfect excuse for calling into Scoffs.

Mark has another shop in Wordsley Green now if that's any better for you, Tommy. Ian's managing the one in Coseley and Len (Mark's dad) is gradually retiring, which is sad.

Oh you can. We pick ours up from Swansea market when we visit. You can make your own gravy for them.

I worked in a butchers shop for years, and lived above it. Thursday was faggot cooking day, and while I was pregnant the smell used to make me heave all day But they were delicious...
