From the Wikkipedia listing on Faggots (food):
A faggot is a kind of pork meatball, a traditional dish in parts of the UK, especially Wales and the Black Country. It was originally made from unwanted off-cuts of meat.
The dish saw its greatest popularity with the rationing during World War II, but has become less popular in recent years. Faggots are usually home-made, and are to be found on traditional butchers' stalls and in markets.
A popular dish is "faggots and peas", which is often served with gravy.
The best-known commercial brand is Brain's Faggots.
It is also a traditional dish in Italy.
