I know you've wondered why local restaurants don't serve faggots and why faggots aren't welcome in Dallas supermarkets. Well, turns out it's a question of marketing.

And unless you're the touchy sort, you've already realized that 'faggot' (as we use it here) is a food-related term--a kind of offal meatball once popular in England. Seems there's an effort afoot to put faggots in every British home. As if...oh, never mind.

A good read this.
