I've got perhaps 6oz of duck fat sitting in the fridge that I use when I'm roasting potatoes. Heston Blumenthal swears by duck fat for that kind of thing, and who am I to disagree? I've had his triple-cooked chips at the Hind's Head (the pub he owns in Bray, just down the road from his 3-star restaurant "The Fat Duck"), and they're every bit as good as people claim. I've also got over 1lb of dripping from assorted roasts (and some bacon, occasionally) that gets used for other culinary purposes. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
