I know it's bad for you but......

I didn't have dripping as a child, but later in life a Yorkshire friend of mine offered me some when staying with them. It was fabulous, so I understand why you want to eat yours. Remember all the "fat is bad" din we have heard for the last 25-30 years has now been debunked - thank goodness, as I never subscribed to it. Everything and anything in MODERATION - so go ahead put the bread in the toaster and spread that loveliness and enjoy. Just don't do it every day!

Millymouge go ahead and have some. A slice or two of toast and dripping is not going to harm you! And no guilty feeling about eating said dripping. Guilt IS bad for you.You will have to eat a lot more than a few slices to cause lasting damage to your health.

CK4260 - totally agree with you.

I want some now!!!! Suddenly become hungry.

Not my cuppa at all but if its yours a little of what you fancy etc etc- I'm told its not what you eat some of the time that is the problem but what you eat all the time so if this is a rare treat and it would give you pleasure go for it!

Not bowel. The mind boggles

? ! Just the thought.

No !!! Don't eat it!!!!

It might kill you!

What you need is a taste tester and at the risk of own arteries I could do that for you.

God, I'm so selfless obvious

A little bit of what you fancy does you good! If you live your life being too squeaky clean, you probably won't live any longer but it will certainly feel like it!

My gran used to eat it every day and she weighed about 6 stone!

When we were little, there was a shop that sold bread and dripping for a penny or two, fabulous. Go ahead and eat a little, then save some for all the salivating GN's.

But from a bowl

Ooh yes go for it - loved dripping sarnies as a child

Never had it but it doesn`t appeal , is it the bottom bit you eat or the white fat !! It is one of those things like sugar butties, carnation milk in tea , black pudding that I just can`t get my head round . I am a bit squeamish though !

Loved it as a child on fresh baked bread. Used to put pepper on it too and a sprinkle of salt. Not had any for years though and reading theses posts am suddenly yearning for some!!!!

God yes! Get it down you! I do this regularly (roast pork is GS's fave!) and DH and I both have dripping toast just as we did in childhood. The pork is probably worse for you than the dripping - a dietician friend of mine once told me that pork is possibly the most indigestible meat you can eat. We once stayed in a small inn in Bavaria and while waiting for our evening meal, a bowl of pork dripping was placed on the table with small pieces of crusty bread to stave off any extremes of hunger pangs. It was absolutely delicious. As dripping goes, I have rarely tasted better than the beef dripping that used to come from my mother's Sunday roasts. The layer of rich brown concentrated flavoursome goo followed by the slightly grainy dripping...... Doesn't happen now - they cut all the fat off cos it's bad for us!

I never could stand dripping. My mum used to produce bowls of bacon dripping, pork dripping, beef dripping, chicken dripping. Yuk! My siblings all seemed to love it but it made me want to urge.

new research has shown that not everyone is affected by saturated fats ( I am unfortunately) bur other people eating LCHF have their cholesterol levels fall

A little of what you fancy does you good !

This would be my choice for last meal on earth! I loved it when younger and daren't make or buy it as I could easily finish all of it off. Eat it and enjoy! We have a Greek healthy version of olive oil on bread with lots of salt (!) and pepper. Good but just not good enough.

Eat it! A little of what you fancy always does you good.

Yum! My mouth is watering at the thought!! Childhood memories, happy days ???

I haven't had bread and dripping for years. Now I want some!

When I was 16 I worked in a factory in the school holidays. At 10.00am a tea trolley came round where they sold hot toast with dripping. I THINK it cost 1d (and 2d for butter). It was welcome then and would be now!
