I end up having/using bacon fat more than anything else. Not that I use a ton of bacon, but Trader Joe's ends and pieces were a staple of my cooking where I'd essentially make a vegetarian dish and accent it with a very modest amount of bacon.
It does make for great oven-roasted brussels sprouts. 🙂

Veering off a bit:
Bread (white sliced cardboard) and beef dripping was a staple in my (1950s) childhood!
They made crap sandwich bread in the UK in the 50's? I thought it was a US invention.
Put one of the frontlegs of a lamb on the bbq today. Really tasty.
Just smeared it with a mix of sweet soy sauce (the thick stuff), apple vinegar, some fancy oils, a little bit of honey, and a fair amount of cayenne pepper.
Served with creamed potatoes. The lamb was very juicy. 🙂

No no no!
We knew that english food was the worst in those times until at least the 90's, as an european citizen grown up in europe this is well known as a fact! 😀

I am sure it was, but we copied everything possible from the USA hoping that prosperity would rub off in the process.
I remember that the first adverts for "Mother's Pride" bread involved a hand giving a wrapped sliced loaf a squeeze and, guess what, it sprang back into shape! That was the USP 😱
BTW thanks to Scott W i learned how to do a really good ossobucco, some italians living here confirmed it to be like at Mama's 😉
Looks beautiful. It was a Jewish mama that taught me that decades ago but all mamas are good mamas. 😉
The Chorleywood process, which is used to this day to make evil sliced white plastic bread was developed in 1961. Before then our bread was just as bad as 'merkin bread. Since then has become worse, but at least we can use home grown wheat.
I would say I make my own, but the machine does it for me 🙂.

Here's the deal: There are 10 subjects. You identify the main ingredient in each only. For example, if you see asparagus, it doesn't matter if it is pickled, grilled or contains onions or watermelon. Just name the main ingredient.
There is nothing 'out there', nothing weird, no pork uterus here, they are all common ingredients in my neck of the woods.
There are two pics, one with flash.
You guess right, I send you a cheque.
Each person gets one guess only.
Good luck, I hope this is fun. I am enjoying it and I'm only just typing it. 🙂
We haven't determined a closing time yet.

Mussels for dinner here tonight. Tomorrow might be Friday taco night with some left-over sous-vide beef short ribs.

Rasped and sauteed yellow turnips ? I doubt that's it but that's actually a very good side dish. ;-)
The Capt. Morgan is pilsner.
This is a safe wager methinks. Not even Scott Wurcer, winner of the first two, is up to the task this time.
