Dripping

[The Black Flash]

Had a roast chicken yesterday, which means tasty toast and dripping for breakfast this morning.

Now everyone (and I mean everyone) I've yet mentioned this to turns their nose up at the very idea. I can't be the only person left who likes it surely? All that nice jelly, bit of salt....lovely.

Sounds fantastic!

Dripping's lovely, and actually pretty healthy.

Errrmmm.

Chicken Fat? Spread on bread?

That's what you mean?

But.


But.



Chicken Fat I throw away. Beef dripping, Duck and Goose Fat I keep for roast potatoes. Pork and Bacon fat is kept for frying. Lamb fat may be used for roasting - depends.

Get that a lot over here in Germany (Schmalz), but it's mainly made fron Goose fat and they put little bits of bacon in it too, spread it on some bread and add a little salt

I want some now...

You're going to have to qualify that one for me...

90+% fat doesn't necessarily strike me as the "healthy" option...

Mmmmm - Tasty

Now I think about it, I've got a Haggis in the fridge with my name on it

Not just fat - there's also all the jellyfied stuff that sets at the bottom. The fat is just like a butter/margarine substitute.

Manteca Colorá ("Coloured lard") on toast in Jerez was rather nice. Paprika flavoured and bright orange, yum
