Family of faggot fans fly the flag
A West Midlands family is playing a central role in the quest to raise the profile of a forgotten British dish - faggots.
The Doody family from Wolverhampton has been crowned The Faggot Family in a national competition, and to kick off their reign they will launch National Faggot Week.

The competition was organised by faggot producer Mr Brain's Faggots.

Oh joy. A coworker is in the hospital (burst appendix!) and I have basically been ordered to go visit her right now. Grrr.
