I have a notion that tomorrow night might be chip butty night!

Ah ... I remember those good ol' days. Remember them well!

... er ... wait ... am I giving away my age? ... ahem ...

maybe my mom told me about them.

I worked at a restaurant in my teens and the older lady waitress there used to make me chocolate cokes.

Yah, my mom told me about them too. That's how I know them so well.

My left arm started tingling just reading this.

But damn it sounds delicious.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

It was simple food, from a time when meat was rationed harder than butter. Fill the guts and all is good.

I can just remember my dad having bread and dripping as an indulgence. For those of you in camp vegetable oil, roasts and baked vegetables used to be cooked in animal fat. This was reclaimed into a pot for reuse (who recycles canola or olive oil?). A significant amount of the flavoursome tiny bits floated to the surface of the dripping and after the dripping had cooled, the top scrapings became an irresistable bread topping.

Kalter Hund (Cold Dog) ... a German layered cake alternating between layers of chocolate and vanilla wafers (we like them flavored with rum). DELICIOUS!

Usually have it as a holiday treat ... very, very rich ... and very, very not low cal!

In the south every one saves bacon drippings. At all times peeps usually have an old coffee can filled with bacon fat either on the stove top or in the fridge.

My mother has a can of drippings too.

And I remember the episode of Everyone Loves Raymond when Marie was pissed at Frank for throwing away the jar of drippings she'd been accumulating from all the best cuts of meats over the years.

Can of drippings was always found in my house when I was a kid.Never in mine though. In fact another treat which now turns my stomach was fried bread in bacon grease......my brother loved the sandwiches OF talked about, but I didn't.

Now fried bananas....they were yummy!

Thank goodness there is no cholesterol problems on both sides of my family or I think my childhood would have produced a heart attack....

I feel ya BIBI. My mom puts half a stick of butter in every vegetable dish.

Before I got married, I didn't know vegetables could be served any way other than boiled to death & drowned in butter and salt.

And I hadn't heard of ground turkey. And never tasted anything other than whole milk.

ohhh.....I've been known to do that

My mother, bless her soul, would cut a thick slice of cold butter and plant it between two pieces of toast.....up until a few years ago my kid.s had thought it was cheese......it was cringe worthy

Proper salted butter is a sweet cheese, of sorts. Apart from the health issues, it's great.
