"The great British faggot is full of flavour and a great belly warmer at this time of year."
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 family will be touring the country extolling the virtues of the dish, which is best-known for its links with the Black Country.
The Doody family were chosen to front the campaign after impressing judges at the Savoy Hotel in London in November....
