we want more faggots! faggots for the world!

from the BBC:

A family from West Midlands is trying to revive a British gastronomic pastime ---- faggots.
What is the only thing that could make this story better? The only thing that could make the sentence "my familys favorite food is faggots" a little funnier?
thats right. The DOODY family was recently crowned the national Faggot Family, and are launching a national Faggot Week.

"The nation knows that the Cornish pasty, Yorkshire pudding, haggis and fish and chips are great British dishes, but all too often the faggot is left off that list," said Janet Doody.

Her husband Fred added: "It's unfair because faggots were a British delicacy long before any of the others.

"The great British faggot is full of flavour and a great belly warmer at this time of year."

The family, including Lewis, 13, and Grace, 7, eat faggots twice a week, with mashed potato and mushy peas.

The competition was organised by faggot producer Mr Brain's Faggots, the largest Faggot producer in the UK.
