I’m re-watching ‘Call The Midwife’ from the beginning and ran across something I missed on previous viewings - one of the nuns was pleased that they were having ‘faggots and peas’ for tea. I’d never heard that word used in reference to food, so I looked it up. A faggot is a meatball made of minced pig’s heart, liver and bacon, wrapped in a caul and baked, usually served with mashed potatoes and marrow peas.
I was surprised to learn that this is very popular in Wales and the Midlands, since food that disgusting generally comes from Scotland.
