> Bacon fat was kept on my great grandma’s 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.
