FAGGOTS (1935)



Faggots (1935) image

I am passing on this recipe for faggots more for the sentimental value than for any expectation that you will use it. My grandmother ("Nanna") was a cook in a "big house" in southern England during the 30's. When I was in England a couple of years ago she granted me access to her hand-written recipe book.

This famous oldtime dish will warm you up on a cold night. A favourite of my clients I was asked to cook this often. Served with a rich onion gravy it is still a winner. You could serve boiled potatoes and cabbage to make a larger meal.
