Tuesdays (in the days when certain meat products arrived only on specific days) cycling home from school my mission was to pick up the faggot ingredients from the excellent butchers in West Street. All random sorts of offal plus the caul in which to wrap them. Into the hand grinder at home, wrapped as parcels and steaming hot for supper hours later with mushy peas. Chitterlings, of course, were Thursdays from the pork butcher in North Street. You can stick your quorn where the sun don't shine. I have no idea whether chitterlings are still served in the UK, but they are readily available over here, where they are known as andouillette (often with veal intestines, rather than pork), and served with mashed potato and a mustard Source.

He married an American and has lived in the US for many years, Faggots are unknown to American cuisine so the word has only one meaning there and it’s pretty much equivalent to the N word. So the look of horror on my sister in laws face when me and my brother - and my Mum when she was alive - discuss them together is wonderful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main celebration is tonight, tomorrow they just get presented to the crowd Why would there be? The storm has long passed, there are no problems at the ground, there is no problem with the weather tomorrow. I never cease to be amazed how our support get into such a frenzy about the weather impacting a game!!

22A Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Exeter are meant to be playing Barrow today, but their stand suffered damage on Friday, so they called the game off then to avoid a wasted journey for the visitors. That was considerate of them, however, it means the rearranged fixture will now be one mid week evening. It's over 300 miles each way; how many visiting fans will turn up?

Give it 10 years and when it doesn't hit the crazy temperatures as predicted, we will hear "that's because we did x 10 years ago", and then because it hasn't hit those giddy heights that were predicted, we will also hear "send more money as it's obviously working".
