The Cellar - The 'What the fuck!' thread

Faggots are an old-fashioned British food, and one that has sadly fallen out of favor in recent years. Traditionally Faggots are made from offal, usually pork, and from the bits of the animal that are generally discarded; the heart, the liver etc making Faggots a cheap and nutritious dish...

Actually, my favourites were always the 'Mr Brains' Faggots, which, unlike traditional faggots were made of liver and bacon.

An ex bf used to complain about how much gizzards and livers cost at KFC. I'm like "you do know you're paying for 'guts' right? Do you know what a gizzard IS?" He didn't want to know.

I don't eat organs either. My grandma used to feed me beef heart and everyone thought it was so cool that I liked it but honestly I was a little kid and just thought it was a name...when I thought of 'heart' I thought of this:
:heartpump

So now I don't knowingly eat organs. Just like 'presentation is key' so is knowledge that it's really just 'guts.'

I mean, we're not in the great depression anymore where we have to eat feet and stuff. Grandma ate all that weird stuff.
