Goose Fat Label....

disclaimer.....the following AIBU is a complete non issue, please do not expect to debate any sort of a serious issue

Just browsing my fridge when my eyes fell upon a jar of goose fat. On the label is a picture of some nice crispy tasty looking roast potatoes. On said picture were the expected words "serving suggestion". However I think really that counts as more of a "usage suggestion", unless of course everyone is just having roast potoes as an excuse to use goose fat?

So AIBU to think the "serving suggestion" should be changed to "useage suggestion",

...and in fact AIBU to feel insulted that they really think I need it pointing out to me that the pototes are a "serving suggestion" and are not actually included in this transparent little jar labeled as fat?

(and yes my friday night is so thrilling that this is the best thing I have to do with myself)

YANBU

Very silly. Should not need to state it is a "suggestion"

What else do you use Goose fat for though, other than to roast potatoes?

Yorkshire puddings

Basting meat

Swimming the channel.

Damn it I was going to say swimming the channel!

bathing suggestion?

On a tin of soup they quite often have a serving suggestion: a steaming bowl of soup! Genius, we would all have been trying to eat it off a plate otherwise... with a fork...

HoneyIatethekidsdragon · 22/10/2010 22:42

My dd eats soup with her hands [hhmm] I therefore conclude serving suggestions are aimed at 10 month old babies.

to rub on your chest if you have a bad cold (or is that camphorated oil?)

I would be a tiny bit worried that it would still say "serving suggestion" Grin

After Christmas, when I have goose fat from the roast goose that's our usual Christmas day roast, I will occasionally treat myself to dripping toast made with goose fat. It is the most delicious thing in the world, and is my most guilty secret food treat.

I toast one side of the bread, spread a fairly thin layer of goose fat on the other and then toast that - it sinks in and the bread goes all crispy, and I eat it with a sprinkling of sea salt.

It has to be done with the goose fat from a roast goose I have done myself - goose fat in a jar from the supermarket just doesn't do it - though it does make delicious roast potatoes.

Reminds me of thorntons caramel shortbread with a "serving suggestion" of them all so nicely stacked....they don't make it to the stacking stage, I just inhale eat them straight from the packet!
