About British meatballs

British Meatballs, often referred to as "faggots," are a traditional dish originating from the United Kingdom. Typically made from minced pork or offal, breadcrumbs, onion, and a blend of herbs and spices, these savory morsels are shaped into balls and oven-baked or pan-fried until golden brown. Served traditionally with mashed potatoes, peas, and lashings of gravy, they embody rustic British cuisine. These meatballs are protein-rich thanks to the pork base, providing an energy boost and supporting muscle repair. However, their fat content can be high, particularly if fatty cuts or offal are used, making portion control key. The addition of breadcrumbs and seasonings offers texture and flavor, though it also ups the carbohydrate content slightly. As a comfort food staple, British Meatballs are best enjoyed as part of a balanced meal, paired with vegetables and whole grains to complement their hearty nature.
