I spotted something in a local bakery today which I haven't had for years, I hope it's as good as I remember when I have it in the morning ..



Mmmm nice ..



A crusty loaf to go in the toaster, white pepper and plenty of salt, I can feel my arteries closing up just thinking about it :)

Nice to see the old stuff resurface :) . Are you tempted to make up pots from home roasts?

Grew up with beef dripping on toast for Sunday tea. I now drain off and tub the beef dripping and jelly for Aged Parent ;)

Breakfast? I'd have some now. :)

Me to, makes me want to go out and buy some, I do remember as a boy when dad introduced me to the delights of dripping. Did not like the look of it at first. when I said dad whats that stuff on your toast. He said would you like to try, I did and never looked back, but I must say its a few years now since I have tried some. Must be somthing I had just forgot about, this has bought back good memories of being a kid. Also got me to thinking of other stuff I have tried while watching the grown ups.... jellied eels, Grandad used to make his own, but thats a different story for another thred.

Dripping is food of the gods, and you're exactly on the money with putting white pepper and salt on it; white pepper is a very underrated condiment for traditional British grub, many people seem not to use it any more.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I'm feeling a mite peckish now!

How the hells do people buy dripping?

Do they not grill a pork chop or some bacon?

The whole point of dripping is its "leftovers" :)

Our local butcher does it to order proper beef dripping my god you should taste the difference when you fry your chips in it.

We should have a "show us your chip pan" thread :) We inherited ours from Carols gran when we first got a house together, if it wasn't for the thick layer of burnt fat holding it together it would be in bits by now.

No, it's luxury food now :) That Marco Pier White bloke sells two slices of toast with dripping for £9 in his pub somewhere I read.

With Carol being veggie it's rare we cook a joint unless we have visitors, any fat left over from chops or a fry up usually goes to the birds

Go to France and buy some "rillettes" - it's like dripping but they've left the meat in :D

Actually, you can buy it in Aldi but it's not as good

Most butchers round here sell mucky fat, it us indeed the food of the gods and I recently discovered the joy that is a ham Sandwich made with mucky fat instead of butter
