If you've ever made homemade refried beans (l live in New Mexico, we love our Mexican foods), bacon grease really makes those refried beans taste heavenly. My grandfather, God bless him, always saved his bacon grease to fry eggs in. Not a thing wrong with saving your meat fat for rendering. I learned how to render lard from my ex husband's grandmother. She was a wonderful woman. She, as a child, remembered seeing Jesse James and his gang ride through a town she lived in. In those days, rendering your own lard or meat fat was a matter of survival. Peace 🕊️

I’m in Scotland, when I was wee I loved bacon grease on bread or the bread toasted in the bacon fat. 😋 yummy.
My mum cooked everything from scratch, meat (usually stewed beef, beef joint or chicken leftovers were made into stovies(stew made with potato, onion and meat leftovers) or mixed with cooked veg and made into pies or pasties.
Vegetables leftovers and scraps mixed with barley, stock and split peas and made into soup.

There was very little food waste. I’m dismayed at the huge amount of food waste these days.

Thanks for the tips Amy, I think it would be great if you make a weekly video about tips to reduce food waste, recycling, reusing or upcycling etc

Love to you all from a wet and stormy Scotland 🤗💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My doctor told me to only use animal fat. Butter, lard, beef tallow, etc. He explained how bad any processed oil is so bad for us.

My mom and aunts always talked about lard sandwiches during the depression. They lived in Conshohocken, PA and they were very lucky since my grandfather worked at the local steel mill so there was a salary coming in, they had a cow for milk and chickens for eggs and meat. They were also able to grow their own vegetables and fruit since they had 3 acres. There were also 7 kids

Hi Amy. I've been saving bacon fat for a few years now. I use it to fry potatoes and to season the skillet for hamburgers.
My Dad who grew up during the depression talked about lard sandwiches all the time.
When you do get butter, save the wrappers. I fold them up and put in a container in the fridge. They are good to grease pans and replace cooking sprays.
Hope everyone is better soon. Thank you for sharing.

Bacon drippings make the most wonderful green beans you will ever eat. With salt and pepper and tiny diced onions of course.

I used the oil from bacon we call it bacon grease here in Lexington KY

I love Neve’s facial expressions! Cute young frugal baby! My mom grew up in the 40’s & 50’s with 9 siblings in her family plus their mom and dad. They had a small farm. She said they took lard on homemade bread for their lunches. Edit: I forgot to say they put sugar on the lard sandwiches. Another food they had often was soup - it goes far with a big family. Dinner of homemade bread and homemade soup sounds delicious to me.

Love this video. My mom & grandmother always saved the fat (grease). So I do the same. Food has so much more flavor when you use leftover fat instead of bought oils.

Growing up in the 1960's and 70's, my mum always drained the fat and juices from a roast into a bowl and put it in the fridge. We would then have the fat and jelly (dripping) from that roast on toast for either tea or sometimes for breakfast. I didn't mater if it was pork, chicken or on special occasions beef, it was all delicious. We all looked forward to dripping on toast, of course the herbs and other seasoning added to the meat while cooking probably helped as well.
Much love and respect from Jo in the South East of England. xxxx

I always have lard around! A small amount of butter, say 1/4 teaspoon will give a pan full if melted ksrd a mire buttry flavor, if your out of bacon drippings, say to fry your eggs from your back ysrd chucjens in, .yum!😊

[dianaglenn]

I pour my bacon fat directly into a glass jar on top of my stove. I don't bother to strain.
My favorite use for it is to fry potatoes in it, and the bits just add flavor. I have been known to use a piece of bread to wipe out the bacon pan. Then scarf it down. Yum!

[alinedoyle]

If you don't like it now, wait until you get hungry. A lot of people have never experienced true hungry.

That “bacon gravel” would definitely be going into the fridge with that lard at my house. I keep jars of bacon grease in my fridge. I fry eggs and taters with onions in my bacon grease.

[KittyMama]

I love using rendered chicken fat, cut from the leg 1/4's, to fry potatoes. And use a little bacon grease while you are cooking grits. It's amazing!

[lynettecrowe]

When I was a kid my mum used to fry bread in the fats from any meats . I still do it every now again.

[silliesallie]

I don't even strain the bacon grease. More flavor. Air fry pork fat into cracklings, family fights over it, and save fat for lard in fridge.

[lindamcfarland]

Prayers sent right away for you all to get better quickly ❤
