But unfortunately no actual brains. I think it was the sauce that made it.

I thought a faggot was a bunch of kindling tied in a bundle, but what do I know...?

also, if you bummed a fag, you were asking for a cigarette. hey, as a kid i watched some old films with my grandfather.

really.

Heads up: It may be unrelated to Boar's Head branding but the "animal" of the Tuscany region is the boar. In Italian boar = "cinghale". You can see boar's heads on all the butcher, salami & charcuterie shops around the region. Several times during my business trips to Florence in Tuscany, I smuggled back boar meat sausage or salamis. Entirely tasty.

Heh! Usually wrapped in clothes and bags within the luggage.

How about some plain ole pork brains in milk gravy? They're right out of the Boar's head.
