The joys of dripping & lard.......

[arpoet]

My dad is 93 and never had sunflower or olive oil in his life.. we always had chips cooked in beef dripping and eggs and bacon friend in lard. anyroad, yorkshire pudding turn out crap if veg oil is used.. You will find both lard and dripping in my fridge as well as olive oil in my cupboard.. its great for de-waxing me ears.

Bleugh. Spit. *Rinses mouth out with clean fresh water.

Don't knock it till you've tried it.

Don't knock not trying it until you've never had it!

Used to be given dripping and bread by my gran when I stayed with her...loved it, but I had some chips fried in it last time I went "oop North" and it was disgusting!

Sorry just not my cuppa tea in that respect.

Could this be another marmite thread...........you either love it or hate it.

If we are talking frying in lard can I have proper sausages, black pudding and fried bread please.

If I'm cooking 'proper' Roast Potatoes, then I'll do them in lard. Why? Coz that's how my late mother always did them, and they were always amazing. I've tried other fats and oils and just can't get the same result. However, I only do 'proper' Roast Potatoes a few times a year on special occasions.

Isn't it meant to be goose fat for the ultimate roasties.?

My roast potatoes are absolutely gorgeous: crispy like they should be

("dry" roasted in barely 1mm of sunflower oil)

Aye, Roasties coated in samolina & roasted in Goose fat.........to die for. Sorry, I'm going off at a tangent..........I lurve dripping & bread with salt 'n' pepper. I guess it depends on what you was brought up with.

I imagine duck fat is the same as goose fat? Hopefully my 3 bird roast will proffer a bit of fat for the roasties?

My auld boss used to recommend Goose fat for every concievable ailment, including rubbing on your chest for some unknown reason?

I know what you meant but I also know what I envisaged!

It would be like hugging someone who had just swam the channel!
