> Bacon fat was kept on my great grandmaтАЩs stove in a bacon grase container. Yeah, they had those. She lived to be 95.
I rinse out and save a few empty cans (soup, tomatoes, hash, etc.) to have something in which to save bacon grease in the fridge. I'll melt some of it in a wok for stir-fry, make roux to thicken up potato soup (which usually also gets bacon and cheese added)...basically, it gets used in place of other fats.
FWIW, my ancestry is split between German and Irish AFAIK.
I kept the fat and lost the sugar and flour (can't eat gluten anyway). That's the key to getting and staying slim. Even if you don't move around a lot.
My grandfather was Austrian. He used to take my mother and uncle into the kitchen to sop up the grease from the meat pan with bread. She passed that on to my brother and me. I've only had Czech food once. It was goose. So delicious.
I will look up Slovacek's for the fun of it. I've never seen that brand where I live, but I can dream.
The minute someone tries to coerce me into buying only cabbage, I'm going out of my way to buy bacon instead.
Same idea. Different waistline.
Bacon will make you thinner than cabbage though. The fauci science is the same science that says crisco is better for you than animal fat.
Crisco. Blech.
When I decided I wanted to lose about 20 lbs, I ate LOTS of bacon. Once I lost the weight, eating bacon keeps me slim. Love the stuff!
"must save the bacon fat." You are a wise soul, Tammy. It's been years since I've had kielbasa. So tasty.
Making me hungry now.

"As far as I know."

Same here. My grandmother lived to 99, my mom to 95.

that actually sounds yummy. Sounds like something my German mama would've made
