About Faggots
Faggots are a traditional British dish, originating from England and particularly popular in regions like the Midlands and Wales. These savory meatballs are made primarily from pork offal, such as liver and heart, combined with fatty pork belly and breadcrumbs, which are seasoned with herbs and spices. They are typically shaped into balls and cooked in a rich onion or beef-based gravy. While faggots are a flavorful and economical choice, their nutritional profile is worth noting. They are high in protein due to the meat content, but can also be rich in saturated fat because of the fatty cuts used. Additionally, the high sodium content in traditional recipes may be a concern for some. Often served with mashed potatoes and peas, faggots are a hearty, old-fashioned comfort food that reflects the resourceful use of ingredients in historic British cuisine. Consume in moderation for a balanced dietary approach.
