Ya know- I love eating cooked fat. Always have done.
My favourites are crispy bacon rind, crackling, crispy chicken skin,goose or duck fat roasties.
Cold white fat makes my stomach roll, but hot juicy, finger-licking dribbly fat....yuuuuuummmm!!

Roast spuds in fat from the roast, YES!, dripping on bread or toast, certainly, chips cooked in lard, fine.
I don't like dripping for frying, never seems to get quite hot enough without a 'burnt' taste.Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.

I believe that a little of what you fancy does you good and a lot of it does you gooder.
I have tried to eat healthily at some times during my life but that only made me drool for the things I shouldn't eat. Hence the binge when I weakened. Moderation is called for then we can enjoy both worlds.

We might have had dripping used for some cooking when I was a child, I don't know. But I do know that every Sunday some down on their luck guy/s would come and sit in our large open garage/barn, where I would be really happy to be able to take out large slab/s of bread and dripping, with a large metal mug of tea. Me and my little sister would sit a little away and I assume have a little chat, or maybe just waited to take plate and mug back indoors.
We would have attended church in the morning, had Sunday lunch and then I suppose he came around the same time every week in the afternoon. I don't know what else he might have received, as I was still only young and left that area of Boston Spa by the age of 9 or 10. Can't see that sort of thing happening much these days, or maybe it's just that I now live in the South and things are different around here?

However, fresh dripping with the brown jelly under, spread on toast and liberally salted and peppered is divine. I hesitate to say ' to die for'!
It's also more difficult to buy lard these days! I remember my Mum rendering down fat from the first pig we had killed for the freezer when I was a kid, she had a great big pottery 'urn thing' full of lard. It was really light, smelled great and she used it for all sorts of cooking. Mind you it was a very, very messy and time consuming job. Don't remember her ever doing it again!

Yes, hard to get lard here. I buy it for the birds, melt it and add bread crumbs. Starlings love it - but then, they love everything!Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.
