It used to be a very popular dish. In the 1960's there was a faggots and peas restaurant in our town that you sometimes had to queue up for. God knows why, it's a disgusting meal and it seems to be making a comeback.

You are quite daring to take a 'I hate faggots' stance on DP, lol just kidding. Doesn't sound very appetizing, especially the version made with caul, which I learned is a fat-filled wrapping that lines a pigs stomach. Yuck.

Oh btw, have you eaten that jellied eel dish I mentioned earlier? Looks pretty dam scary. Probably give faggots a run for their money.

I could never bring myself to try jellied eels.

I'm partial to a good meat pie.

That dish looks pretty good and I'm sure it tastes great, but it's a salt bomb. 1800mg of sodium for a serving. My restriction is 2000mg per day.

Looking over the recipe, I can see that the main part doesn't have all that much sodium and there are substitutes available for the couple of ingredients that could be high, for example, the tomato puree and the beef broth. Low sodium alternatives for those are readily available.

All the sodium is in the crust. I'd have to do some research and consult my personal expert to find if there are low-salt alternatives before I could eat this dish.

Another alternative is to dump the crust and add potatoes. It wouldn't be a pie, but it would make a very tasty stew.
