VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Never tell an American TV promo producer you're having faggots for supper!

Sheesh. I knew a few of the meanings of that word, but had no idea how many:

I hope you're not eating a bundle of sticks. That's taking the dieting bit a bit far, old man.

'tis the meat delicacy. Overnight delivery (chill pack) from a Butcher in Camarthenshire, Wales. http://www.eynons.co.uk/buy-quality-faggots-online.cat

I guess your using the term would be like the Yank telling you he was going to enjoy stuffing with Grandma.

From the butcher's website: "Customers travel many miles to purchase and experience our Famous Faggots."

And a description: A faggot is traditionally made from pig's heart, liver and fatty belly meat or bacon minced together, with herbs added for flavouring and sometimes breadcrumbs. The mixture is shaped in the hand into balls, wrapped round with caul fat (the omentum membrane from the pig's abdomen), and baked.

Mmmmm. Barf

Take my offal, please.

Over here if it can't been eaten we elect it to political office where it's out of harms way.

"So tell me Mr Campbell what do you think of Gordon Brown?"

"Probably needs garlic"

I'm afraid I must go there and taste it before I decide that it's so not my bag. And if it's truly bad I will volunteer my voice for its election campaign.

Waste not want not.

BTW Did this pig sign a donor card?

Voiceoverist wisdom. Isn't that an oxymoron?

Well, I used to refer to Billy Mays as the "Oxy Moron" but it isn't nice to speak ill of the deceased, so now I refrain.

I still think "Spotted Dick" in a tin takes first place.

Is this where I bring up the fact that one should never refer to a waist pack as a fanny pack when in UK, and that there are no naked lights allowed?
