    Erm, of course the ones from the butcher weren't the same. They were faggots. The Brains things are liver & onion meatballs.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)

    To be exact, they are

    Water, Pork 11% (Pork Liver, Pork), Pork Rind, Rusk, Onion, Wheatflour, Lard, Salt, Modified Waxy Maize Starch, Tomato Pur!e, Flavourings, Colour (E150c), Sugar, Herbs, Spices

    I bet someone comes up with a better recipe for them.

    mmmmmmmmm Brains Faggots - with creamy mash and mushy peas. Takes me back to childhood. Dad loved them but we got Campbell's Meatballs :(.

    I presume she'll only visit this thread if she's interested and it sounds like she might not be so there's no reason for her to visit ? ;)
