Do you eat . . .

[MissCommando]

bacon fat? I certainly don't. I think it's revolting and so unhealthy but I know quite a few people who eat it :(

[boxtops]

Yes, if it's crispy - and if I don't eat it, the cats will!

[JulietSierra]

I buy lean back bacon but still cut as much fat off as possible, and like Boxtops I could only eat any bacon fat if it was really crisp. Plus I grill it rather than fry.

[4getmenot]

Yep, its actually not that unhealthy either really not compared to saturated fats. I also eat raw bacon.

mmmmm lamb fat mmm, and chicken skin

I love it too epecially raw. On a school exchange visit to Germany years ago the family I stayed with used to buy a slab of it about 3 inches thick with a rind that you sliced and ate with salt. Very unhealthy and very delicious. Maybe someone would know if it had a special name?

I've heard of the French eating raw bacon. I wouldn't even want to try it - I'm guessing it would taste slightly like parma ham? (which I hate)
I always tell my husband off because I think it would clog the arteries badly. Does anyone know if this is the case?
I can understand people eating the crispy fat rather than the jelly type of fat

Yea, bacon fat is lovely, but only if crispy. I always grill my bacon and it always has to be well done.... - a bacon butty would be nice now, if only i had some bacon!

[4getmenot]

I think it tastes like smoked salmon

We had belly pork yesterday, the crackling was lovely, couldn't resist it, the diet will resume again tomorrow. We also had crispy grilled bacon and fried egg sandwich for breakfast this morning.

be careful feeding dogs and cats fat. It can give them pancreatitis
