Mr Brain's...meatballs. About that name

  I always thought the F-word meant a cigarette in the UK.  And there are links to the word, which is connected to the old term "a bundle of sticks".  I never knew it also meant a British-style meatball.  I did a "wait, what?" It's a real name for British meatballs .   Given it is 2026, it is a bit jarring to hear with my sensitive ears.  My 1990s ears give me a chuckle.
