Dripping

My Grandma ate this before, during and after the war, she's in her 90's and still alive & kicking!

A little of what you fancy does you good, as long as you don't eat it every day I can't see any harm in it. I dry fry bacon and love dipping bread into the fat that comes off it, MIL used to make bacon, cabbage and mash, she used to pour the bacon fat over the potatoes.

What is proper bread and dripping anyway?

sometimes my mum and I dip a slice of bread into the roast tray after it's cooked and share it! is that the same thing?

It will give you a heart attack. lol.

The first documented case of heart disease was in something like 1912. People have been eating the fat from meat for thousands of years but they have only been eating margarine since about 1912.

There is absolutely no proof that eating fat like dripping causes heart attacks.

What will do you damage are transfats found in some margarines and other rubbish.

My gran and my great-aunt like dripping on toast. They are 101 and 100 respectively (and not related to each other).

What's the best dripping for flavour?

Beef, without a doubt!

Dripping is free, it's what you're left with in the tin after you've roasted a joint of meat, normally beef. Most people just throw it away.

On the rare occasions that we do roast beef, I ALWAYS save the dripping to have on toast. Mind you, that may in the past have contributed to my previously high cholesterol level....now lowered through healthier living (and a distinct lack of dripping on toast!)

The best dripping ever was the dripping on the dripping toast that my works tea lady brought round on her trolley at 10 am every morning. OMG - I'm dribbling here

There is no evidence to prove that ingesting saturated fat will give you a heart attack. There are just hypotheses many of which are now questioned by scientists. Here you go.

Thought I was the only one who paid any notice to Briffa

Can't help you with the :rolleye: but will this do?

Damn. If only he'd have hung on until margarine was introduced he could have avoided it....I bet he was kicking himself.
