Bread And Dripping

[allenlondon]

Now this might bring harmony.

Bread and dripping, what a treat. And if you were lucky enough to get a spreading from the very bottom of the pot (all dark and jelly-like), bonanza!

Nowadays, meatless, I settle for the Italian peasants’ snack of olive oil poured over fresh bread. Delicious.

Used to scrap with my brothers over who got the jellied part of the dripping.

I have never had bread and dripping and it sound vile 9sorry about the harmony Allen!)
Ps how's Mrs Allen today?

Allen I love bread and dripping. My Nana used to send me to the butchers for a quarter of beef or pork dripping 'with plenty of jelly'. Slathered on thick bread and sprinkled with salt it was the food of the gods.

however I do also love Olive oil and bread, maybe with a bit of balsamic vinegar in with the oil.

When I was a child in Yorkshire,we called it 'mucky drip'. Beautiful!

[allenlondon]

bednobs, thanks for asking. Sleeping at present. Not good though. If only love could heal her.

I can't remember my Mum ever buying it.It was simply the result of roasting meat.

My favourite is Turkish style bread dipped in olive oil, lemon juice and salt dressing that's left at the bottom of a salad bowl with tomato seed juice from a very ripe tomato.

nope, not for me, just the thought makes me heave

[bednobs]

Allen, if love could heal her, i'm sure she'd live forever :(

[AuntPollyGrey]

Tigger that sounds lush........

[emmie]

tiggs, could handle that no problem

Used to love bread and dripping. Also bread and Demerara sugar. Lovely!

If I had bread on hand, I'd be eating the lovely concealed jelly from last night's spicey wings. Done in slow cooker, then finished off in a pan to crisp up.
Tiggers idea is also yummy...anything from the bottom of a salad bowl is.

I do roast belly pork over a rack then pour the drippings into a ramekin -makes a wonderful breakfast spread on hot toast.

Not something we had in our house as kids. Does'nt it just cause cholestrol and other arterial probs in later life?

[ToraToraTora]

Yep, I remember bread and dripping, nowt went to waste when I was a saucepan.

[allenlondon]

My mum was a basic cook - keep 'em fed with something - so considerations of diet weren't uppermost. Good puddings, good cakes, and good dripping, though!

[ToraToraTora]

"Does'nt it just cause cholestrol and other arterial probs in later life? " - it may but at the time it was calories pure and simple and they got burnt, we were like whippets then!

[Bobbisox1]

It happened at home when I was young but I never partook in eating it , similarly the fry up of veggies,meat and Yorkshire's on either Sunday night or on Mondays,nothing was ever wasted then

I'm trying to imagine TTT as a tiny SAUCEPAN...;)
