    same price in Iceland  plus if you are over 60 and get them on Tuesday they are 90p

    Same price in Farmfoods but marked 50% extra free on the four pack .
    UsefulRanger's avatar
    So 6 for 99p?
  5. mark6220's avatar
    Standard price at Iceland. I've got two packs in the freezer.
    A good tip is to defrost for 24 hours in the fridge and microwave when defrosted. Save a lot of time and money that way.
    They are really nice too. I've always liked them.

    No need to re brand anything, they've been known as faggots for 100+ years, these contain offal which differentiates them from meatballs and have been made for centuries. if you goggle the word - Faggots you would be presented with countless recipes to make faggots.

    Good deal but these taste awful.
    ingredients: West Country Sauce (62%) contains: Water, Lard, Wheat Flour, Modified Cornflour, Tomato Puree, Salt, Colour: Caramel (E150c), Yeast Extract, Sugar, Onion Flavour, Spice and Herbs Extracts (Celery), Pork Faggots (38%) contains: Water, Rusk (Wheat), Rehydrated Pork Rind, Pork Liver (15%), Onion, Pork (4%), Wheat Flour, Salt, Sage, Spice Extracts

    19% meat (pork and pork liver), the two main flavours I got from these was bread and salt

    Rather than changing the name Mr Brains should change the recipe.

    I would kind of agree, but they're cheap and if you don't have any money 19% meat is better than no %. They're a food for poor people from the time of the depression, its kind of sad they've not had to change the recipe.

    They also have since I'm pretty sure E150C wasn't around in the 20s.

    I don't care what they are called, I really like these - good value as well
  8. UsefulRanger's avatar
    Isn’t this the normal price? They have been 99p for 30+ years.

    Just don't show these to Twitter and you're good.

    I bet the guys monitoring this thread are having a meltdown and don't know what to do!

    I'll expect my comment will no doubt be deleted within a day or 2.

    The HUKD hitman already removed mine. I'm pretty sure I'm on the hit list.

    I hate these in the 1980s as a child and they tasted great. Had them maybe 1-2 years ago to reminisce and they tasted really bad. Never had them again. No idea if the recipe had changed or it was always like this. (edited)

    4% pork? I've not tried, so I hope they're super tasty to make up for the lack of main ingredient.
  13. tjc2005's avatar
    These are absolutely terrible full of shi... But I do like them. Still best to goto a butchers (if you can even find one these days) and get some proper ones.

    I love these, tons of sauce, great with mash

    Proper black country dish

    I'm amazed that Mr Brain hasn't thought about a re-brand. Tasty but not cool.
    xenophon's avatar
    I like mine hot. As for "cool" you really think teenagers would start to buy them if they changed it.
  17. morebread's avatar
    When I was a kid I was convinced these were made from brains and refused to eat them, the tv ad didn't help Timothy Dalton has a lot to apologize for how he managed to get the Bond gig after this.....

    You don't. Just cook them and then re-heat the others within the next 3 days. Always been fine for me

    I’ve never had these Im pretty sure. What even are they
    mark6220's avatar
    They are really nice. It's pork, offal and very tasty. The gravy is decent too. I put them in the same league as proper black pudding.
  25. Chiptivo's avatar
    Of course they need to rebrand it.
    The word in question has taken a different route and meaning. It is a known offensive slur on a gay man.

    Like the word Gay, is not now a word for a jolly chap anymore.

    Another example is a spastic, this was very acceptable and fine, even scope the charity was known as the spastic society many years ago.
    Things change, and sometimes this have to change for the sake of others.

    No chance this is not going to get moderated... Fingers crossed! (edited)
