Don't think I could stomach it now tbh but it was a nice trip down memory lane. thanks OP

Now what did you do that for! Now I have go and try it with salt and pepper.

Oops no. Not allowed to have extra salt - it's bad for my (completely normal) blood pressure.

Can I have pepper or could I sneeze myself into a stroke?

Guess I ought to be careful slicing the bread - I might just slip and cut my finger off ;-)

beef dripping tastes the best - but pork dripping is nice too.
and for those health nuts - I would rather put a natural product on my toast than the chemical muck which is laughing called healthy spreads!
healthy my @rse! more chemicals than a pot noodle and they call it 'healthy'???

Beef dripping every time but also the crispy brown dribble bits in the tray of a good chicken are outstanding. The rest of the household think I am disgusting but that means it is all mine . I don't eat the fat (cos of the boring diet) but if you let it go cold and scrape off the white bits the end result is nom, nom, nom spread on bread and surely no worse than eating gravy? It is at least a natural product unlike nasty spread which I don't eat.

There is a great bit in one of the Pratchett city watch books in which the married guard Colon is going on about how his wife doesn't care any more and he only gets bread and dripping, and the unmarried ones start dribbling at the prosepct of 'real dripping with brown gunge and crispy bits'. Made me smile anyway.

I used 'real dripping' , a small amount, as fat in homemade bread a couple of days ago. Couldn't tell the difference from a bit of Trex.
I very very occasionally make pastry for a cornish pasty with real dripping.
A little sea salt is the nicest on bread and dripping.
But I seldom have the money for the roast, so demand outweighs supply.

For those that can't afford real cuts of meat, I find an excellent way of saving money is to cut several pork pies in half, take out the meat and then scrape the jelly from the edge of the pastry.

Seal this jelly in a plastic bag (similar to the one that contains the giblets when you purchase a turkey or pheasant) and hang it above the aga.

It will make a delicious 'dripping style' spread for bread, and you can even seal the pork-pies back together ready for the summer, when the young man you're courting takes you on a pic-nic. All you need to do is use the dripping from your roast pheasant as a type of glue to stick the two halves of the pork-pie back together.

I was sure that, although high in fat, real dripping is good for you due to the protein content.

Please tell me I'm not mistaken, I've been spreading dripping on all sorts of things since I was a teen.

I really hope this is a tongue-in-cheek post.....if I can't afford a joint of beef, I'm unlikely to be able to afford pork pies, pheasant or possess an aga!! :rotfl:

Trolls about Floss. Funny how so many posts have disappeared and how many new posters there are. Must make it hard for genuine new posters to get taken seriously.
