2 medium sized onions salt and pepper
2 tbsps fresh sage or 1 of dried 1 tbsp plain flour

Mince or chop the fry and onion and mix thoroughly with the breadcrumbs, seasoning and sage. Form into eight portions and wrap each portion in a piece of caul. Place in a baking dish and cover with the hot water. Bake in a moderate oven for about three hours until the faggots are nicely browned. More hot water cab be added if needed. Thicken the juice with the flour half an hour before serving.

These faggots are traditionally served with mushy peas: soak dried peas overnight and then team or boil slowly while the faggots are cooking.

I would just like to clear up something for the intrepid writers of definitions of the word "faggot."

The pejorative word, "faggot," is not French, Latin, or Old English for "bundle of sticks". This word originated in the early 20th century (the earliest printed reference is 1914). There are several hypotheses as to its origin, but it not likely derived from the identically spelled word which means a bundle of sticks.

Furthermore, gay people were not burned alive with bundles of sticks in the Dark Ages, the Salem Witch Trials, or Nazi Germany. That is an urban myth.

A term used in American English to distract others from the speaker's dissatisfaction with his own homosexuality.
