FAGGOTS (1935)
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.

PEASE PUDDING AND FAGGOTS
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.

HOW I MAKE FAGGOTS
Steps:
- Put pork liver kidney and onion into a pan with seasoning and water to half cover. Simmer gently for 40 mins then strain. Keep the liquor. Mince the meats or chop finely and blend with other ingredients. Add some of the liquor. Pile onto a greased tray and spread out to about an inch and a half thick. Score the top with a knife to make individual squares. Cover with greased foil and bake at gas 6 or 200C for an hour. Take the foil off for the last fifteen minutes to crisp the top. Serve with garden peas.
