OK, but why "pork"?
Turk, sounds like reference to "long pig" to me. Like Roberta said, wrong on so many levels.
They are a form of meat balls in a rich gravy very nice had them many times during the winter.
Indeed. Ground pork, onions, gravy - that kind of thing. Faggot in the same vein as "faggot of wood", to whit a bundle of off-cuts. Faggots are frequently made of offal and less entertaining bits - me, I'm a rib-eye steak kinda guy, never did have a lot of time for offal. Too gamey for me.
There were TV ads for Brain's Faggots until the mid-to-late 80s here in the Uck. They looked much more appealing than I assume such as thing would be (cheapest possible meatball, and all that), but I seem to recall some low-brow tittering even then.
Oh, the derivation makes British-langauge sense; it's a fine example of "divided by a common language." There, a tasty treat; here, a mean epithet.
The treats themelves can't be worse than some of the other things people eat.
...What bother's me is the "Mr. Brain's" brand. Eeee.
Arf.
Age 21. Location: Rhode Island.
Me: "I'm just popping out for a fag".
Coworker: "What a waste, I thought you were straight."
Me: *looking up from sketchbook* I've made a mistake. Can I borrow a rubber?
Coworker: "If you've already made the mistake, sugar, it's too late for the rubber."
*facepalm*
mmm. than there's that can of Heinz "Spotted Dick" for dessert.
