Brains Faggots
 

Does anyone remember them?

I had my OH in stitches this morning telling him how my kids would gag each time i told them we were having brains faggots for tea PMSL :rofl::rofl:
He thought it was some strange gay fetish thing:lol:..lmao

No matter how much i explained that Brains was the name of the company and not the contents the kids would not believe me!!
They were cheap, filled them up and a stop gap when we were short of money.

Anyone else remember them?

Any other particularly British weird or funny food stuff that you dont get elsewhere that you know of?

I've never heard of them either. I don't think i have ever eaten a faggot.

Why is a gay person called a faggot:blink:

Used to get a dessert called Lemon Crunch (I think) packet mix and just add boiling water, them sprinkle a crunchy topping over, dead easy - even I couldnt mess that up - could I ????

Re: Brains Faggots
 

I can't remember who made it but it was a packet chow mein meal with these crispy deep fried noodles. When I was a skint YTS trainee trying to get by on 27 quid a week I would eat them all the time.

Vesta, that's the one. thanks.

Re: Brains Faggots
 

You can get rhubarb and custard sweets in Perth at the British Lolly Shop - about 8 sweets for $4:eek: so guess they must still be in the UK:)

Quality Street - Orange creams and green triangles:thumbsup:
