This will be the the Bristol Butcher Herbert H Brain I presume...
Here's one of his marketing initiatives
"Mr Brain’s is launching Faggot Friday and he wants you to join in the fun! Throughout the autumn, Mr Brain’s is calling on the Great British public to get together every Friday and enjoy a plate of his tasty faggots."
Fascinating!
