Political correctness in the butchers shops now!

[mrs_overall]

In the butchers this morning I spotted some home made faggots and asked for some. The woman serving me said I couldn't use that word and said they were called rissoles. The world has gone mad!

[tiggerblue10]

You could have asked for gay rissoles.

[mrs_overall]

lol

[ummmm]

Still faggots in our butchers. Although, why anyone would buy them is beyond me...

[mrs_overall]

The supermarkets still sell frozen Mr Brains faggots so I don't know what her problem was

[Mamyalynne]

But you can still buy Bloomers in the bakers, ooeerr missus

[Davethedog]

Brains, who I as far as I am aware, are the only people who sell them frozen still call them faggots, I think its just that butchers it seems that many people have thier own rules.

Would it be appropriate to ask the butcher if the faggots were from a gay (happy) animal and was the animal slaughtered by a straight man?

[mccfluff]

i could never bring myself to try them, still convinced they are made out of brains

[fredpuli47]

The butcher or the woman serving is a rissole.
'***' for 'homosexual man' is American English, isn't it ? Why can't they use proper English and ignore what might offend an American?

[NazNomad]

I thought Rissoles were typically beef, and Faggots were pork? Maybe I'm way off. The shops here sell faggots though.

[fredpuli47]

LOL I typed faggots in the singular and it got censored. Now, if the plural is censored I shall claim discrimination!

We used to get the most delicious home made faggots from a Butchers in Baldock back in the 70's. They were served everyday from the ovens hot and steamy and people queued for them. I don't fancy the miserable offerings you see these days

[LoftyLottie]

I now fancy one!!

[LoftyLottie]

(with some turnips of course!!)

[NazNomad]

'Popping out to smoke a fag' means you're off to shoot a homosexual, in the States.

[andy-hughes]

Is 'turnips' a euphimism here Lottie?

Ooooh, and indeeed errrr Missus!

[LoftyLottie]

In joke between Mrs Overall and I Andy. She thinks that's all I eat because I reside in Norfolk!! ;o)
