UK-- A pub has been criticised for selling a dish called 'Barrymore Pie - Faggots swimming in gravy'.
The name refers to the death of Stuart Lubbock, found drowned in the pool at Michael Barrymore's home in 2001, reports the Mirror.
Landlord Peter Towler says he will not bow to complaints from people offended.
He insisted: "These people say this is not funny but their behaviour is turning it into a joke. I am sorry that they are upset but I will not be bullied.
"I will not bow to this pressure. I sell about 100 Barrymore Pies a week. I suppose I could change its name to Politically Correct Pie."
The dish is on the menu with Wham, Bam, Thank You Lamb and Henpecked Chicken pie at Mad O'Rourkes in Tipton, West Midlands.
Customer Karina Thompson said: "I was appalled. It's a cheap joke, not funny, with offensive language. Faggot is a pejorative term for a gay man. I've written to complain."
And Outrage! campaigner Peter Tatchell said: "It's a joke in bad taste."

Hamhead, you can call your meatballs or brain whatever you want, that's your opinion but if you don't agree with mine doesn't make me stupid.
As for the original story, obviously in bad taste, I thought that was pretty much confirmed in the 1st 20 posts, I just wanted to add that along with that, the word disgusts me aswell. My opinion, and I'll stick to it.

LOL @ Hammer Head ~ great line!!!
And as Hammer Head points out ~ and for those too thick to realise this ~ you will no doubt note (if you actually read the posting instead of skimming over it looking for knee jerk reactive statements to make and are not too STUPID to understand proper grammar) that the Brain's has a capital B, ergo it's the BRAND NAME not what it's made of - mind you, faggots made from brains.... hmm sounds kinda yummy to me, along with haggis, tripe, jellied eels, brawn and boiled pigs trotters.

Aww NO NO NO!! Mani / Hammer c'mon please.
This isn't how it works. That's playground stuff all that ~ you're stupid ~ no you're stupid.
Debate the issue, make inflammatory statements, argue and disagree, but don't lets get into this - it's pointless.
C'mon, we've all got different views lets air them and fight it out verbally, intelligently and properly. !!!!!
