Derogatory Dish
This is just wrong (hat tip: Ace).
A West Midlands family is playing a central role in the quest to raise the profile of a forgotten British dish – faggots.The Doody family from Wolverhampton has been crowned The Faggot Family in a national competition, and to kick off their reign they will launch National Faggot Week.
The family will be touring the country extolling the virtues of the dish, which is best-known for its links with the Black Country.
The Doody family were chosen to front the campaign after impressing judges at the Savoy Hotel in London in November.
“The nation knows that the Cornish pasty, Yorkshire pudding, haggis and fish and chips are great British dishes, but all too often the faggot is left off that list,” said Janet Doody.
Her husband Fred added: “It’s unfair because faggots were a British delicacy long before any of the others.
“The great British faggot is full of flavour and a great belly warmer at this time of year.”
And if you think that’s an inappropriate name for a dish, it doesn’t end there.

Faggots are the most disgusting ‘meat’ dish ever. They make them round where I live from the entrails of pigs. Apparently they think we are still rationing and don’t realise that nobody wants to eat the guts and digestive tract of a dead animal.
They’ll pretty much put anything in our food these days as long as they can make money from it. Fortunately the government is now saying that only ‘muscle’ counts as meat and anything else has to be declared on packaging.
Penis doesn’t count as muscle, nor do eyes. Don’t know about tongue; Please G-D no tongue.
personally I’d rather eat a tongue than an eyeball!!!
