A faggot is a kind of
meatball, a traditional dish in the
UK, especially the southwest of
England,
Wales, and the
Black Country. It is made from meat off-cuts and
offal, especially pork. A faggot is traditionally made from pig heart, liver and fatty belly meat or bacon minced together, with herbs added for flavouring and sometimes breadcrumbs. The mixture is shaped in the hand into balls, wrapped round with
caul (a membrane from the pig's abdomen), and baked. A similar dish, almôndega, is traditional in Portugal.
