billd766 Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 I found this recipe on the web last night. Yorkshire Faggots Serves 3-6 450g (1lb) Pig's Liver, thinly sliced 110g (4oz) Pork Belly, thinly sliced 2 Medium Onions, thinly sliced 1 Egg, beaten Breadcrumbs Pig's Caul ½ tsp Powdered Sage Pinch Thyme Pinch Basil Pinch Grated Nutmeg Salt and Pepper Pre-heat oven to 200°C: 400°F: Gas 6. Place the liver, onions and pork into a saucepan with the sage, thyme, basil, nutmeg and seasoning. Barely cover with water, simmer for 30 minutes. Strain the liquid and reserve for the gravy. Mince the mixture. Add the beaten egg and breadcrumbs, mixing thoroughly, to produce a fairly firm mixture. Divide into six, form into balls, covering each with a piece of caul. Place in an ovenproof dish tin with the reserved liquid. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until browned Serve with a rich onion gravy and mushy peas. or this one Faggot Recipes, Faggots in Gravy, Traditional English Cooking Faggots People tend to love or hate faggots, but these beauties, freshly made in faggot gravy bare little resemblance to their distant cousins you may have seen in the deep freeze at your local supermarket. They take 50 minutes to prepare, and about two hours to cook, serves four. Ingredients: 1 pigs liver - diced 1 pigs heart - diced 6 rashers streaky bacon - cut into strips 250g pork belly - diced 2 medium sized onions - peeled and sliced 1 egg 100g breadcrumbs 2 tsp of finely chopped fresh sage salt and pepper to taste a large knob of butter Method: 1. Melt the butter in a large heavy based oven proof pan, add half the sliced onion and cook over a moderate until the onion softens. 2. Gradually add all the meats, stir for a few minutes then add enough water to cover the ingredients, leave uncovered and put in the middle shelf of the oven at 190oC for 50 minutes. 3. Remove from the oven, drain the liquid (to make the gravy), mince the meats and onion with the remaining onion, egg, breadcrumbs, 1 tsp of sage and salt and pepper, mix well and form into faggot sized balls. 4. Place the faggots into a greased baking tray and add enough of the reserved liquid to just cover the base of the tray. Cook for about 40 minutes at 200oC on the middle shelf. 5. In the meantime use the rest of the reserved liquid to make some gravy. 6. Five minutes before the faggots are cooked add the gravy to the tray and cook on the stove getting as much of the meat juices into the liquid. 7. Serve whilst piping hot with mashed potatoes and peas pudding, garnish with the remaining sage. I think I would skip the pigs heart. My problem is that I don't have a proper oven just a convection roaster though that may work. If I try to make them and they don't taste too good I have 6 dogs to feed.

Actually i agree the butchers own are generally better but i always found you had to make seperate gravy for them. I may have a go at making them though, sounds good....

LindsayBKK Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 'Here's a message for Faggot-lovers everywhere.' So said Rodney Bewes in one of my favourite ever bygone commercials. That might not be a verbatim quote, but he at least said something equally fantastic. Here's one especially for our American friends, although I doubt that even people who were alive in the days when faggots were popular will be unaware of the word's more modern connotation. Faggots are balls of low quality pork, a kind of 'English haggis', probably intended as a way to make the grossest animal parts seem edible. They are reasonably tasty, if you keep your eyes closed, but the ingredients show that the pork contains more pork liver than pork and a disturbing flavour at the back of the palate suggests the presence of even more offal. Indeed, the second most abundant ingredient is 'pork rind', the exact nature of which I dare not comprehend. West Country sauce seems to mean gravy. In the national consciousness, Brain's Faggots (what a name!) are THE faggots, but before I managed to locate a packet I found some other faggots. Which I've now deleted, as you didn't need to see them. Oh so they are like Swedish Meatballs? Lindsay's Swedish Meatballs Meat: (the main ingredient) 2 pounds ground lean meat: use beef, pork or veal (may use some textured vegetable protein ground beef substitute) Filler: (to give the meatballs the right consistency) 2 eggs 1 cup milk, cream, meat broth or water 1/2 cup all-purpose flour OR 1/2 cup fine bread crumbs OR 1 cup torn bread OR 1 cup mashed potatoes Salt and Pepper: Salt to taste (1 1/2 teaspoons suggested) Pepper to taste (white or black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon suggested) More Flavor: Option 1: 1 minced onion 1/4 tsp dry mustard or 1/4 teaspoon allspice Option 2: 1/4 tsp dry mustard 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg Hope you enjoy my faggot! ooops Swedish Meatballs sawasdee kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get Scotch Eggs at Villa supermarket near Sukhumvit 31 Bangkok as well as pies etc. Some are Ok and some are very nice but a bit expensive.
