I prefer beans usually but peas?..Fresh in the pod thanks. I don’t mind shelling. When I cook I listen to music and have a beer or two. Time doesn’t matter. I have all day…lucky me! 
Uncooked:
Faggots are meatballs made from minced off-cuts and offal, especially pork (traditionally pig’s heart, liver, and fatty belly meat or bacon) together with herbs for flavouring and sometimes added bread crumbs. The mixture is shaped by hand into small balls, wrapped with caul fat (the omentum membrane from the pig’s abdomen), and baked. It is a traditional dish in the English Midlands.
The first use of the term in print, as cited in the Oxford English Dictionary, dates from 1851, in a piece by Henry Mayhew in which he describes a dish identical to the modern product with chopped liver and lights in an outer wrapper of caul.
Cooked:
A “batch” is the name for a bread roll, bap, barm, breadcake, bun, cob or teacake in Coventry, Nuneaton and parts of north Warwickshire.
Birds Eye large pack of frozen peas. I chuck peas in with most things I make, because they go with everything. A nice dollop of unsalted butter sometimes, make them even yummier!
Hi Art,
I like Frozen Pies (Birds Eye), they come in a re-sealable bag, they are really nice and sweet, I also like Mushy Peas.
Now this is something that Mr M has mentioned from his distance past .
I have never cooked a faggot in my life how does one go about it ?
I can manage to open a can of radioactive mush 
I thought the same for 20 or 30 years, but now I’m back into the older more mature peas that come in a tin.
There’s a Portuguese favourite quick meal for when you have unexpected guests. Assuming you have peas in the freezer plus bacon/chorizo, eggs an whatever. A quick stew with peas, and the eggs get poached on top.

Be very careful when cooking peas - too long and they’ll start turning brown.
Once cooked drop them in cold water and put them in the fridge. When they are wanted simply drop them into boiling water for no more than a minute and serve.
Oh they are cod Artangel - and yes, i agree about pollock and coley!
I love peas I buy the big bags of Birds eye petit pois with the zip locks .
They are great in soup also in spicy rice and samosas because they are small.
and yes I remember … the Italians do a thing with peas, rice and parmesan … nice.
If you can’t find faggots (also known as “Savoury Ducks” in the North of England) on sale locally (a butcher or farm shop - 50p-£1 each), then they can be bought online * (as farm shop plus postage - expensive) or here’s here’s a recipe:
Classic British Faggots
Real faggots are baked in the oven for an hour or so.

NB Brains Faggots, sold in supermarkets, are NOT the real thing but a pale imitation. They are, however, very cheap (£1-£1.50) and the “sauce” is delicious:

Brains Faggots may be heated in the oven for 45 mins or microwave for 12 mins.
Thank you, Omah, I knew I should not have asked!
I agree; they’re the spawn of the Devil 
as far as I’m concerned.
We buy Tesco’s own-brand frozen either garden peas or petit pois depending on what’s in-store when we need to buy more.
Well I bought some faggots from the butcher but they were already cooked the butcher told me just to heat them in the microwave .
So I served them with mash and a can of harry rams dens mushy peas plus mash and gravy. Alas Mr M gave them the thumbs down they didn’t taste right . So I will get some more form Cirencester rare breeds farm - if they are open and try again .
Meanwhile Mungo loves the rejected faggots he thinks they are perfect !
