is it frugal to eat the fat and juices from roast pork

I love the pork juices! Usually it is all used for gravy with the roast dinner. Sometimes it's very fatty gravy but it's so delicious it's worth it, I just don't make it every day! Also good in soup or added to meals like stock.

I have stopped using these oils and use dripping, duck fat, lard and butter for cooking The taste is sooooooooooo much better too!

Used to love my grampy's chips made with lard...So I tried making some a couple of months back...the taste was great, but the smell! _pale_

Roast potatoes done with lard are good but I prefer with dripping

My lot won't eat roast pork (sob) but lamb/beef dripping is always kept in a bowl in the fridge for the next roast spuds - num num.
Last time we a had a roast chicken I got a huge bowl of fat/juices so I put it in the fridge to separate - didn't fancy the fat on top so scooped that off and what a fantastic jelly which I used in a bubble and squeak.
Awwwwww bacon fat to cook the fried eggs - am hungry now.

I keep all my fat/dripping - even the stuff that comes out of burgers & sausages - half a teaspoon makes fake 'bisto' gravy taste like the real thing and it makes lovely bubble & squeak.
I only ever buy oil for my chip pan now.

Roast duck on Easter Sunday. Cold with chips yesterday, soup from the carcass tomorrow and roast potatoes in the fat next Sunday, maybe even the next one.
