Fogan, fogon, «a kind of cake. In some 
parts of Cornwall, the fogan is a cake 
made of the fat of pork and barley-meal. 
A fogan-cake has been said to be a figgy- 
cake; but this is unlikely. Townsend 
may supply us with a more plausible 
conjecture. He tells us, (see Travels in 
Spain, i, 144) that ‘as fuel is not easily 
procured, the Catalonians use the utmost 
frugality in dressing their little dinners, 
seldom indulging themselves with either 
roast or boiled, but mostly stewing their 
meat in pitchers over their fogon, ar 
little furnace.” And he mentions, that 
near Barcelona, there are manufactories 
for these little fogons,whichare sold very 
cheap to the miners. Now the fogon is 
out of use with our miners: but the 
name remains to the meat which is car- 
ried for the meal at the mine. ‘Thus we 
say, “a mug,” meaning the beer in the 
mug: and thus we call wine mixed with 
water, &c. &c. ‘a cool tankard,” though 
we are drinking it out of a bowl. 
Fooch, to, to shove; to put in; to get 
over. ‘He fvoch'd me about;” that is, 
“he shoved me about.” ‘*I fooch’d it 
through the key-hole ;” thatis, “ I pué 
at in through the key-hole.” “1 thort he 
might ha fooch’d away a year or two 
more.” “JI thought he might have gat
