I swear they are intentionally writing the copy so as to be as amusing to Americans as possible.

i referenced Mr Brains Faggots in a thread not too long ago :)

"It's no wonder 100 million faggots are eaten in the UK every year!"

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Sunday, 27 April 2003 17:06 (twenty-three years ago)

they won't let me enter the "Win a Mr. Brain's Faggots Knees-Up" contest :(

I will never not love Britain.

Note that hstencil's sentiment and mine are not necessarily contradictory.

I almost considered watching the ads but I really think I could not handle happy pandas expounding on the wonderment of faggots.

"Do you dare to eat Mr Brain's Pork Faggots in a famous public place? DON’T BE SHY, send in a photograph, along with your name, address, email address and become a member of our Faggot Photo Gallery."

that makes them SAD pandas

Are they still allowed to call faggots faggots then? I thought the PC brigade would have been stamping down on that once they'd finished with Spotted Dick (now called Steamed Richard or somesuch nonsense in our local pub).

it is now my civic duty to post this picture as much as possible.

It's funny because I'm trying to think of alternate names for these things - pork balls, maybe - and they're all even more dirteh than "faggots".

When Paul Lukas reviewed these things in Beer Frame it gave me such a hard case of the giggles that he eventually gave me the cardboard front-piece from the package. Mr. Brain's Pork Faggots. Oh, my God.

They're BOOTIFOOL!

West Country = UK Dirty South?

(damn these faggots are crunk)

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Sunday, 27 April 2003 17:51 (twenty-three years ago)

West Country is where I come from, so I guess that's what the faggots I ate in my youth (before I started eating a different kind of faggot, obv) were in.

Faggots: How many can _you_ handle?

― buttch (Oops), Sunday, 27 April 2003 18:10 (twenty-three years ago)

dave q to thread!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Sunday, 27 April 2003 18:23 (twenty-three years ago)

British Fag is a redundancy. Outta the homeland, now!

― Irish Mick, Sunday, 27 April 2003 19:58 (twenty-three years ago)

No, some fags aren't British.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 27 April 2003 20:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, a lot of them are from the Carolinas.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Sunday, 27 April 2003 20:09 (twenty-three years ago)

True.

However...
Though all fags are not Brits, all Brits are certainly fags. I know of no scientific evidence that proves otherwise.

― Irish Mick, Sunday, 27 April 2003 20:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, that's what you meant...

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 27 April 2003 20:16 (twenty-three years ago)

ooh who got him ready?

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 27 April 2003 21:59 (twenty-three years ago)

So... those are real then?

― jm (jtm), Sunday, 27 April 2003 22:18 (twenty-three years ago)

More importantly, why do I suddenly want some?

― jm (jtm), Sunday, 27 April 2003 22:21 (twenty-three years ago)

But America has a beer called Wanker.

― Matt (Matt), Sunday, 27 April 2003 22:53 (twenty-three years ago)

I should explain: I did a google image search for Wanker beer to illustrate my point and found desperately little. I then widened the search to "Wanker" and found that.

― Matt (Matt), Sunday, 27 April 2003 22:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Horrible, isn't it?

― Matt (Matt), Sunday, 27 April 2003 22:55 (twenty-three years ago)

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Sunday, 27 April 2003 23:35 (twenty-three years ago)

Alright, not as horrible as that.

― Matt (Matt), Sunday, 27 April 2003 23:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Where does the pic come from? The family look nice people though. That latter comment was really pointless, but I am feeling sentimental at the moment, so there.

― Dave B (daveb), Monday, 28 April 2003 00:12 (twenty-three years ago)

also the british don't have overflow valves in baths! they live in the 1700s there!

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Monday, 28 April 2003 02:02 (twenty-three years ago)

JESUS - IS THAT TRUE?

― James Blount (James Blount), Monday, 28 April 2003 02:15 (twenty-three years ago)
