Whilst on the subject of brains I remember eating Brains pork faggots in gravy. They were delicious and made by a butcher in Bristol.

As Cardiff and Bristol are not far away from each other I wonder if he was related to the Brains brewer?. Having said that, Bristol was a lot further away from Cardiff before the Severn Bridge was built, unless you were a good swimmer!

They are still available as Mr Brains faggots but no longer a family concern.
