Faggots (2x170g)
£3.34
Faggots play a significant role in the gastronomic history of Britain. They are a traditional, cheap source of tasty nutrition. They were first eaten in the West Midlands and Wiltshire, before becoming very popular in Wales, where they remain something of a staple. People in the north of England sometimes refer to them as ‘ducks’. Faggots are made from pork offal, smoked fats, ham and herbs and spices. They are rich in flavour and have a lovely texture.
Cooking Instructions
We suggest wrapping faggots in The Black Farmer middle bacon. Once wrapped, place them on a lightly greased baking paper and bake them in a medium oven for 45 minutes to an hour. While cooking, make mashed potato with a good amount of butter and a bit of grated nutmeg. Reserve some of the juices from cooking. Gently heat through fresh peas in a frying pan with butter, water and the cooking juices. Serve the faggots on top of the mash and pour the peas and juices around the outside.
Storage Instructions
Shelf Life: 12 Days from date of delivery
While we’d be surprised if you could resist the temptation to enjoy immediately, please keep refridgerated unless you intend to eat it right away! Otherwise all our quality meat is suitable for freezing to preserve its taste and texture, meaning you can cook and serve it when you fancy. Once it’s been frozen, please thaw your meat slowly and thoroughly, ideally in the fridge overnight. We vacuum-pack our meat to naturally extend its freshness and make it suitable for home-freezing.

Packaging
This pack contains 2 pieces. Your item will arrive in a 100% recycled box lovingly packed with FSC-certified shredded spruce from Britain and Sweden, natural sheep’s wool insulation and non-toxic chilled gel packs, all of which can be reused, composted or recycled. To recycle the gel packs, simply cut a corner and dispose of the contents through your normal domestic waste system, as the gel isn’t harmful to the environment. Better still, reuse them by storing in the freezer and chilling other products. The only component from our packaging that can’t be recycled are the foil liners which need to be go in household waste; the poly bags meat comes in in need to go in plastic recycling.
