...to keep sneaking downstairs & scraping up sausage fat with a forkful of leftover mash?

Eeeurgh.

It's reasonable if you enjoyed it I suppose, but I don't think I could eat sausage fat without the sausages.

Which is weird really, because I quite like pork scratchings, and they're considerably more disgusting when you think about it.

Ponders · 08/09/2009 23:17

But I am a lady! So it must be all right!

Ming ming ming.

waitingforfanjo · 09/09/2009 00:33

Fat? YUK! I am also assuming the fat was (retch) congealed since you had to scrape it up? (double retch)

Ponders · 09/09/2009 00:39

Oh dear

Actually it wasn't congealed when I first tried it...it is v tasty though, congealed or otherwise (& the sausages concerned are 95% meat so not a huge amount of left-over fat).

I obv have a big dietary problem though

SomeGuy · 09/09/2009 00:48

eek. I do grab handfuls of Jordans raspberry crunch cereal when I go downstairs however.

Tortington · 09/09/2009 00:50

sausagey fat - isn't yum its rank

GypsyMoth · 09/09/2009 00:56

i love cold leftover mashed potato!!

LilMissPerimenopause · 09/09/2009 01:00

congealed sausage fat? bleargh!

on the other hand, I do have a weakness for sneaking cake, biccies yumyum

waitingforfanjo · 09/09/2009 01:02

Because the butter in the mash is all mixed in and lovely and creamy, but the sausage fat is all cold and hard and white like lard.

I know what you're saying, it's all still fat but one seems so much more appetising than the other.

waitingforfanjo · 09/09/2009 01:09

I don't think you have a dietary problem though. If you start rooting through the kitchen bin for bits of leftover sausage fat, that's a problem

And despite my saying YUK to sausage fat, I will own up to making up cake mixture, as in: RAW eggs, sugar, butter (fat) and flour and then eating it. Not even making it into a cake, just eating the mixture. It's yummy

kickassangel · 09/09/2009 04:00

my dad loves toast & dripping, so whilst it doesn't appeal to me, i can understand it, sort of.

MrFlibble · 09/09/2009 07:31

Shouldnt of read this thread first thing in the morning! Congealed sausage fat is yuck!

waitingforfanjo I made some cakes the other day and as with tradition left a small amount in bowl for me to eat. Completely forgeting that im 6 months pregnant and really shouldnt be doing things like that... WHOOPS! (did taste good though)

diddl · 09/09/2009 08:07
