..... faggot!!!! I was watching this program on UKTV Food called Heaven's Kitchen Cookbook where a chef of a local gastropub cooks two dishes and the locals get to decide which one is put on the menu - his first dish was "faggot" I couldn't believe my ears LOL he said the word so many times. I checked google for "fargot" or "thargot" (I thought his pronunciation was wrong) and I got no results. Eventually the recipe was shown on the screen and my jaw dropped.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faggot_(food)

A lady suggested the name should be changed if it were to be put on the menu because the word sounds ghastly but the chef was like "But that's what they're called"
At the end of the show people preferred the faggots and the chef made a toast: "Here's to faggots!" And everyone else went "Faggots!" "Faggots!" "Faggots!" That just sounded so wrong... can't the name be changed to something else?

 

[Mama Smurf]

No. The dish has practically died out anyway.

We still smoke fags though.

 

[Garret]

So, what's the big deal with this word? It's another insult, IMHO.

Take care,

I will immediately ask the British parliament to change the original English language to appease an American.

 

[Nexus Zero]

Change the name of a food older than the country who exported it's own particular brand of adrenaline-filled homophobia? It's pissing me off enough that all the gays have started crying about how offensive it is, when it's been heard in this country for the best part of what? Three years? Why have they just started to be offended by it?

 

[RedShift]

I expect this meaning is a lot older than the other one.

Also fags=cigarettes here

I'm not American.

yeah, people looked strangely at me when I was in the US a few weeks ago and I said I was gonna have a fag now.

Hardly the problem of the English English speaking community if the American one uses this word in a different way.

 

[painey]

i was just watching that show which is scary, its pretty incredible you didnt know faggots were a food though.. they were making a few innuendos about faggots in that show ..

 

[Google]

My mum used to cook faggots - I quite liked them.

haven't had one in years though.

 

[Sanjay]

funny thing happened today at college

this guy asked this girl to come outside with her because he wanted to have a fag, she replied "i anit waiting for no fags"

i was loling and then was like that was a good joke and she was like huh, what did i say that was funny. She had no idea what so ever what the term fag means other then just another word for a cig.

 

[Frog]

Faggots go good with a banger in the mouth.

lol, pwned by your dumbass assumption.

 

[Tauntaun]

lul, british folk <3

 

[Eric P]

do you know about spotted dick?

 

[Ghost]

Really?, I've made threads about the Faggot family before, the guy who runs a company that makes faggots wanted to get them out there again so he changed his family name to Faggot.

Kids loved it.

 

[Count Dookkake]

do you know about spotted dick?

What I expected the OP to be about.

 

[DKehoe]

What I expected the OP to be about.

Same

 

[Dark Octave]

British...

 

[Barkley's Justice]

could anyone else not avoid reading this thread with a british accent?

 

[Mr. Banana Grabber]

Bah, me fags are wet.

 

[Choke on the Magic]

It's about time.

could anyone else not avoid reading this thread with a british accent?

No and I respond in Johnny Dep's H.S.T. voice.

 

[Scribble]

Same.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

[Guzim]

I forgot we were in the colonies.

 

[Nolan.]

I was expecting Spotted dick.

Oh I bet you do . . .

Because you are the one doing the smoking.

 

[adamsappel]

I saw a can of Spotted Dick in my local (US) supermarket yesterday.

 

[vas_a_morir]

God, I already hate them. The look absolutely disgusting. It's like country souse. Fuck those faggots. Fuck them souse, too.

 

[jakncoke]

That faggot sounds like it'd need a lot of something else to make it taste good.

 

[Belfast]

 

[Burai]

Faggots are absolutely fantastic. They've kind of died a death because they aren't as "cool" as burgers, but with your burger you don't get the awesome gravy/sauce stuff. Kids these days don't know what they are missing.

Faggots, chips and mushy peas is the meal of champions.

Oh, and anyone who suggests the name should be changed deserves to die in a chemical fire.

 

[Chairman Yang]

What does the box at the bottom right say

 

[Mama Smurf]

Probably Cumberland Sausage.

 

[Gaborn]

I'm disappointed in GAF. You didn't post the OBVIOUS pic.

(and accompanying story, "Family of faggot fans fly the flag")

 

[Jill Sandwich]

I introduced Mrs Sandwich to Brains' faggots (she's from PA) with chips and mushy peas and she loves 'em!
Hurrah for faggots! And spotted dick!

 

[Ra\/en]

All that sounds lovely except for the MUSHY PEAS. while I was traveling the UK I had my share of mushy peas.. I don't understand the appeal at all. So bland and gross

P.S. Complaining about the name of a dish older than a recent trend is stupid.

 

[RumFore]

I'm not American.

We get blamed for everything.:lol

Did you travel around the North?

I can't seem to get mushy peas in chip shops down south, or gravy either.

They look at you like you're a moron.

Just give me chips and gravy damnit.

 

[LizardKing]

i didn't even think catfish was british either. i thought he was swede or something.

 

[lil smoke]

Careful. I was banned for using the word *** here.

I'm from the colonies mate.

I figured I might get owned for the American call, but I was hoping for a good old 'we speak real english vs that american garbage' debate which everybody secretly loves. Sorry OP!

oh you, you're making me blush. such a sweet thing to say.

anyway, what about cock-les and laverbread?

Northerners...

Try some Tabasco sauce on your fish and chips - it just works. Kind of tastes like spicy vinegar when mixed in with it all.

 

[batbeg]

This is something which bugs me, but since the letter "u" is pronounced like "yew", are you technically meant to say "a UK dish" or "an UK dish"?

 

[temp]

"A" since the "U" in "UK" starts with the consonant sound "Y". ""

 

[Blackace]

there was an ad pulled from the UK making a play on words about this..

and the punchline was something like "I've nothing against faggots, I just don't fancy them"

No problem I'm Mancunian

Yeah... my mistake; the title was originally "an English dish" (I didn't know it was also eaten in Wales and other parts of Britain) and then I changed it to UK and forgot to change the "an" to "a"

 

[Greatness Gone]

lol

<3 Faggots.
