Really? Perhaps you might want to take a peek. (I often laugh at parts now as I find them silly, corny, funny … especially the dance sequence of the “girls” and the “boys”. Also is funny the story each tells of their meeting - polar opposites see youtube summer nights)
I remember my mother pouring the fat (after frying - everything was fried in half inch or so of fat) off the pan into a large tin, which was kept (for some time) in the cupboard under the stove - without a lid! (never did us any harm, considering the cockies that crawled over it … … until such time that a plate was placed on top).
We had an old marmalade crock in the fridge that was the receptacle for bacon fat. My father would make fried eggs in some of it (on Sunday morning after mass) when we weren’t having any bacon.
Hmm…sodium nitrates,fat… :grinning:if it were wood smoked only and had no fat I might eat it more often ?
But I’m sure ,like the ham over there,bacon has been crafted down to a fine art.
