They are great in soup also in spicy rice and samosas because they are small.
and yes I remember ... the Italians do a thing with peas, rice and parmesan ... nice.

If you can't find faggots (also known as "Savoury Ducks" in the North of England) on sale locally (a butcher or farm shop - 50p-£1 each), then they can be bought online * (as farm shop plus postage - expensive) or here's here's a recipe:

Classic British Faggots

Real faggots are baked in the oven for an hour or so.

NB Brains Faggots, sold in supermarkets, are NOT the real thing but a pale imitation. They are, however, very cheap (£1-£1.50) and the "sauce" is delicious:

Brains Faggots may be heated in the oven for 45 mins or microwave for 12 mins.

I agree; they're the spawn of the Devil as far as I'm concerned.

We buy Tesco's own-brand frozen either garden peas or petit pois depending on what's in-store when we need to buy more.

Well I bought some faggots from the butcher but they were already cooked the butcher told me just to heat them in the microwave .
So I served them with mash and a can of harry rams dens mushy peas plus mash and gravy. Alas Mr M gave them the thumbs down they didn’t taste right . So I will get some more form Cirencester rare breeds farm - if they are open and try again .
Meanwhile Mungo loves the rejected faggots he thinks they are perfect !
