@contentandwell I grew up on lard and lots of meat with vegetables that were canned for the winter or placed in the root cellar. We ate what was placed in front of us even if we weren’t hungry enough to eat. My mother was not a good cook. I grew up eating overly cooked everything and did not like it then and still do not like that type of cooking. Just wondering if how we choose to eat as adults is what we grew up with or even as children we had tastes unique to each of us?? I know many that cook like their mothers and I am repelled by it still. Yes, many still save their bacon grease to season their other foods.
Back to we are not all wired the same.

@parus My mother was a really good cook and I loved being in the kitchen with her. I realize now she did use too much butter. I avoid butter and even fry eggs in EVOO. She used bacon fat in making fried eggs and one other recipe but that was it. I do not use it now. It does add flavor, but so does butter and I had been avoiding that even before I realized my problem had a lot to do with lactose.
