FAGGOT

An English favorite is Faggot, also known as Welsh Meatballs.  Traditionally served with gravy and accompanied by Mushy Peas.  A hearty staple found in restaurants and pubs throughout the countryside, but definitely not on the lite menu.

Ingredients
2 pounds pork or beef liver, cut into large pieces
1 pound pork butt, cut into large pieces
1 pound fresh pork fat, cut into large thin strips
1 egg
2 cups bread crumbs
2 large yellow onions, peeled and minced
2 teaspoons dried sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation
In a meat grinder, grind the liver, and pork finely. Mix all of the ingredients together well and mold into 2 inch meatballs.  Wrap each meatball with a strip of fatback and place them in a lightly greased dish, and add 1 cup of water. Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees. Serves approx. 8.
