Please don't feed the trolls!
Pork faggots?? wow..that is just too easy.
mmmm...wait a minute....what's that in the box down in the lower right corner.....??????
The hyperlink for FAILblog actually takes you to a NY Blade article about Damn Yankees. That's a FAIL. 
JMG: That IS funny! Fixed.
Mike in Boston: they're "Cumberland Sausages," but i admit the photo has been nicely cropped.
Ah, British cuisine. How do you know when you're brussel sprouts are cooked? When you can't count them!
There is an oft-linked to story from the late 90s on the BBC News website about that company's selected "faggot family" for "National Faggot Week."

The family name: Doody.
"The great British faggot is full of flavour and a great belly warmer at this time of year."
Oops: 2003. That qualifies as Teh Fail.
British food - ick.
British men - nasty and fun.
I had Spotted Dick for dessert the last time I was in London. I almost didn't laugh while ordering it.
As a Brit I love faggots. I had some when I was home last April in Witney that were incredibly good. And I love British cuisine. Sausage rolls, crisps (far better than the American 'potatoe chips'), Cornish pasties, gammon, and Shepherd's pie make me one happy camper.
Even better is this warning sign from a British Railway station: "KEEP BACK FROM THE PLATFORM EDGE. OR YOU MAY GET SUCKED OFF" posted here: http://failblog.org/2008/07/16/d...te-signage-win/
It was me. But I was more specific when I said, Irish cuisine.
I absolutely love and adore British cooking. It is one of the least understood and most unappreciated of all cuisines.
After British cooking, German runs a close second. Boiled cabbage and potatoes. Food just doesn't get any better. Chips with curry gravy, meat pies, good beer – it's all real food, unpretentious, and not overly seasoned. Love it!
@WillySF: Good n greasy and I'll pay for it later 
Sure...like deep fried Mars bars...now there's a clunker...argh!
OH MY GOD, that website is hilarious. Love the one about the tow fail on the 2nd or 3rd page.
British food is great, and there's nothing there any more disgusting than what you'll find in the American south. Hello, chitterlings?
Shepherd's pie is the ultimate comfort food. A pub lunch in Britain is amazing. And while it's not technically British, the curry in London beats the pants off of anything you'll find in the US. (It's not historically British, but it's so widely eaten there now that I think it counts.)
And Willy is right - German food. Ahhhh. Maybe we need to make rouladen this weekend.
JMG, I love FAILblog as well.
I only caught news of it this past weekend via an article on Ben Huh in the Sydney Morning Herald. He also runs Icanhazcheezburger. Between the cats and the fails...I was laughing my ass off...
FUNNY!
As per the pic posted...is it for realz? A number of the items I did see did seem "created"...although it was a small percentage...but I few caught me saying...oh c'mon?
BTW, I'll be in England the first couple of weeks in August...so I just may munch on a few faggots too while I'm there!
: )
Ha ha ha, I am in LOVE with this site!!! I love the "premonition fail" -- ring bell for Psychic...bahahahaha....
I love Cottag(e) Cum -- another Brit staple.
I love to nosh on pork faggots!
They sound pretty offal to me.
Well, I don't know about you other pork faggots, but I just *luvvv* wallowing in a rich country sauce. The hotter the better... sailor.
well the Failblog is pretty fuggin hilarious. though definately a guilty pleasure since some of the posts are a little homophobic and also getting pleasure from people hurting themselves isn't supposed to be funny. however, when they think they're "all that" and then get owned, yeah it's pretty funny.
OMG....that website is soooooo funny....
And I was having a blast reading the comments on THIS blog....
thx JOE
Spotted Dick anyone?
or
Cock Soup?
@JinNO
Offal!? Low Blow!
You can do better than *that*, try working with: "In Rich West Country Sauce" you're a better sauciere than offal...geese...we need help here...

The British take pudding to a whole new level, but the rest of their traditional menu provides a good explanation as to why they set out to conquer the rest of the planet a few centuries back: desperation for a decent meal.
Can one of you guys actually tell us what a pork faggot is please? I'm curious and have not heard of them or ever seen one.
blimey!!!
fail blog is now one of my favourites. lots of guffawing and chuckling.
Personally, I don't think that the word "faggot" makes it sound all that unappetizing.
Goddess knows that many men reading this have had faggots in their mouths many, many times in the past.
And at the time, they did not spit them out or complain that they didn't like the taste.
(But I suppose the important question is, "did they swallow?")
"Faggots" - from the French "fagot" which is a bundle. Now - about Mr. Brain. WTF? Now that's gross.
I always loved the Two Fat Ladies on teevee. All that lard!
.
Yes, you've had *worse* things in your mouth...
Don't be dissing on the offal; it's provided some of my most sublime dining moments.
Yeah...Haggis, the dish of Kings!
Brother...
Faggots, Merdith? Pork liver, kidney and other assorted pork 'variety meats, chopped fine with herbs and breadcrumbs wrapped in caul fat to hiold them together and keep them basted. bake in the oven and serve with a dark onoion gravy, creammy mashed potatoes and peas. Heaven!
Faggots like haggis are one of theose foods that are actually better if not home made.
MMM MMM MMM I love to pork me my faggot.
You made my day!
Had Spotted Dick in London one nite fer dessert---very nice! Then I went looking fer a Regular Dick at XXL---he was very nice, too!
Good name for beer blast at the Dugout?
Actually, pork faggots sound kinda tasty. My dear Grandma made a Hungarian variation called hurka, which is a variety of "sweetmeats" (kidney, liver, etc.) and rice in a sausage-like casing, which was boiled or fried. Delicious with a dash of pepper.
I'm salivating just reading this. She would probably blanch at the memeory but I always though mam was spoiling us when she gave us Brain's faggots for supper.
I don't have them too often but I still have a craving for them which I have with Birds Eye Peas and Smash (reconstititued potatoes).
As to the word faggot my mum uses it frequently when talking about annoying interfering / spiteful women.
Something Hebrew National will never add to their product line.
The content of the failblog is some of the funniest that I have ever seen. I lterally laughed out loud at some of the stuff.
