Bleurgh! Don't anyone show Elliebee this thread! Nasty things! :rotfl:

errmmmm - I'll have hers, please, if she don't want 'em !

The only place I've seen them on sale recently is in Farmfoods and that isn't in our main shopping centre.

I can get them from the local co op and my local asda sell them too.
I love it when theres 50% extra free, thats 3 each for me and my son instead of 2:rotfl:

My local Morrisons, Somerfield and Tesco sell them.

Not too long ago there was a documentary on the TV about the company looking for a family to be the new face of brains faggots. Apparently the winning family would win all sorts of goodies, and be featured in a nation wide campaign to increase the sales of faggot.

I don't remember the advertising campaign, but I do remember the daughter (or a female descendant of the inventor of brains faggots) and her family not winning.

I remember going into Somerfield and buying some at the time, because I had not had faggots since the 60's. Although I remembered liking them, and having great fun with my mates when we had faggots for tea. In those days the word "faggot" had a completely different meaning.

Anyway, I found out the brains faggots I bought at Somerfiled were not the ones my mother fed to me in the 60's.

Maybe we could be the 'face ' of brains fagotts? I could be the granny, sitting in the corner snoozing - until the faggots and peas are ready of course

They are lovely. My local Asda used to sell them but haven't seen them for a while.
