SAVELOYS
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2006 6:37 pmWhen I was a kid in the East end of London, the German butchers was one of the only fast food takeaways there was.
Goebelles down the market was open until after ten at night and the aroma of faggots and peas pudding or Saveloys and peas pudding , filled the air. and for two penny sav's and a fistfull of pease pudding for another penny was a meal fit for a king.
You ate it out of the paper with your fingers, which warmed your fingers up on a cold night too.
I remember peas pudding and faggots more than I remember fish and chips and there certainly wasn't any Chinese takeaways or curry houses and Burgers and Pizzas were unheard of.
As far as I remember the faggots were cooked covered in a cawl and were steaming hot and spicy.
But the saveloys were to die for ...to me they were huge and so very satisying.
Does anyone have a recipe for saveloys? the pepperier the better. Where would one get the red skins as well.
