Mr Brains Faggots 87p six pack

For those like me who love their faggots chips and peas, Iceland have these for only 87p.

    I'm sorry, but these are not true faggots. They're "liver & onion meatballs".

    However, as such, they are still quite delicious.
    If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5? :)

    Yes I know but as you say quite delicious have just polished a portion off, I have seen a post recently that suggested using these in a stew, might try it but think it will end up as a sludge,mind you it might make a tasty soup.

    I would have bought a few but whilst in there I got 6 packs of King Prawn Curry reduced to 1.00 so no space left in freezer.

    I used to love them but the last two were just tastless, even the gravy wasn't as yummy as it used to be - grrrr.

    I agree but I still buy them for a change. I fry an onion, make up some extra gravy from granules and add that.

    As I'm feeding just two of us I think two each is enough. What I do is buy two packets and cut two off each with a knife dipped in boiling water. Then I freeze in fours. That's less than 60p per meal for the meat and not much extra for the chips and peas.
