Bread and dripping

[ateallthepies]

Does anyone still eat beef dripping here? For the first time this week I saved the roast juices and skimmed of the solid white fat when cold. Spread thickly on white bread it was unusual but nice. But used instead of butter in a cold beef sandwich was really good!

Gonna have to double up on the Statins tonight! Lol.

Try it with pickled gherkins. Lovely.

Aye, at least once a week

Unfortunately the amount of dripping was only a few tablespoons so will have to wait for the next roast to try other ideas. Wish I has saved the juices under the fat now as would make a great gravy stock. Could freeze it until needed?

Not very often since my gran died. Dunno what she used to do but her dripping on toast (with salt obviously lol) was absolutely amazing

Aye, I was only a boy at the time and my job was to toast a massive door stop in front of the fire for a supper time treat. Some very very fond memory's there

To think all these years all that loveliness has been thrown out, no more though!

Boxing Day every year. Harvest it from the Turkey. Covered in crack black pepper. Salivating at the thought.

I too still eat and love it - but it has to be with that much-underrated condiment, white pepper

Have a chat with your butcher (proper butcher) - mine sells it

They do mail order too for you poor deprived souls

Before my butcher father-in-law retired, we used to get the gravy from the roasting bags when he did his cooked meat joints for the week, pure cow juice with lumps of dripping mixed in, lush

When I was a kid I've very very occasionally have bread and dripping for my school lunch. Otherwise it was bread and margarine. We were quite poor so only had roast meat every second blue moon

I'm a big fan of white Pepper, but Dripping needs Salt too.

dripping sandwiches was a staple diet as a youngster, back in the day when chips were fried in it and they came wrapped in newspaper.
