faggots
Tied wood bundles
In British cooking, faggots are savory meatballs made from pork offal, onions, and herbs: We had faggots with mash and onion gravy.
The older meaning is bundles of sticks bound for fuel.
In American usage, faggots is the plural of the slur for gay men—offensive to most, though increasingly reclaimed in gay art, theater, and literature.
