OMG !!! Would you believe that I do that too?

My Mum used to buy chicken fat from the butcher and then melt it down and use that for cooking and spreads.

Even kept in the fridge it never goes hard like butter does.

I have not eaten butter so I cant compare the taste but the chicken fat fat on toast is delicious 🙂

the residue of the chicken fat after the fat has melted out is called töpörtyű It is crisp and golden brown and eaten with freshly baked bread and spring onions

Joz when was the last time you had some?

my mother used to make it from pork poddy (possibly from chicken too) 

and made her own lard from it too, was great on toast! sprinkle of paprika, salt

she stopped after going on a health kick a good 20 years ago, so that was the last time i had any

i don't miss it really, reckon it's a bit too fatty for my liking these days

My mum used to put it in a press and squeeze out any remaining fat.

Studies have shown that almonds can reduce cholesterol, as part of a healthy diet, but not for everyone.

Dark chocolate can also reduce cholesterol, but one needs to be aware of the sugar content and that chocolate is high in calories. So dark chocolate with a high cocoa and lower sugar content.

With all of these things, it is best to know what your levels are, and talk to a GP about any diet changes, that would take into account other factors you have.

woolworths now sells couveture

just sayin'

(They might have always, not sure, but I saw some there a bit earlier and I've never seen it before, and you don't have to buy the 5kg blocks, you can just buy 500g )

Hat or no hat, my preference is still a  plate and glass for a sampling 🙂
