Cooking with Lard

[ossy kid]

When we go out for fish and chips they always pile on too many chips so half go in the fridge. Day after I warm the in the microwave and then drop them in the hot chip pan, like you say, luvly brown and crisp, better than "new".

I can't stand the smell of deep fried food cooking, I won't go into a chip shop and I particularly hate the smell and taste of chips cooking in dripping - I won't go to the Three Fishes at Mitton for a meal because all I can smell when I walk in is the dripping they use!
It's alongside coriander and rocket on my list of evil foods!

Natural oils and fats are best.
If it's 'hydrogenised' it is artificial food and not worth eating.

I live in Mexico, and the Mexicans deep fry a lot of their foods in lard. It doesn't seem to effect thier cardio-vascular systems as it does in the UK or US.

I just went out to get my mail and stopped for three fish tacos. The fish is cooked in lard in front of you. A nice piece or two is put on a flour tortilla, and you can put a variety of toppings on it. I like freshly sliced and pickled onions with peppers, a mixture of finely chopped tomatoes and onions, a splash of freshly squeezed lime and a blob of mayonnaise.

YUM.

On the use of lard, when my grandad was in hospital they covered his back in a large amount of lard.....................He went down hill very fast after that.




Well I thought it was funny.
