Thanks for sharing Irishdude, when they showed the picture of the faggots it brought back many memories for me. There is a small town in Pennsylvania named Avoca and I worked at the A &P there which was a one man butcher shop. This was about 1965. Many churches had bake sales but this one church sold faggots.  All the women of the church would come together and make as many as they could. What ever amount they made they always sold out. I would get the order from the ladies about a month before the sale. All kinds of pork offal. During that period I would sell more pork hearts and livers than all the supermarket in our division, there were 60 stores in the division. Folks came from a 10 county area for this event. I often wonder if they still carry out this tradition today.

I saved their recipe which I wasn't suppose to have as it was a "secret"  but I became very, very friendly with one of the ladies  and she gave it up. LOL> 

Minced pork liver and heart, wrapped in bacon, with onion and breadcrumbs. I would grind all of the meat for them through the fine-plate and it came out like mush! They then took it to the church kitchen and added  onions, and breadcrumbs. They then shape the mixture into small balls, and wrapped them with bacon and then wrapped  them again with caul-fat (omentum membrane ). The omentum they bought from a local source. They cooked them in a large kettle with gravy and served with peas and mashed potato.

I can still taste them as I am writing this, they were oh-so-good.
