Edward Smith Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Razz,Find a good butcher that makes its own smallgoods (bacon, ham, etc). They shouldn't use nitrates, the butcher I work at cures their meats in salt, honey and water, that's it!Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razz Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Yeah ed that's what I ultimately want to do and then buy a shitload of bacon, just haven't gotten around to it yet. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Naterman Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Maybe even some pieces of bacon every once in awhile once in awhile?I like dowsing my salad with my concoction, typically vinegar and spices. Oil is nice, especially if I want some fat in my diet but otherwise unnecessary.Bacon is a daily regimen in my diet. I rarely go a day without bacon. Greatest food ever.Bacon is indeed tasty, and if you can find the true lard (not that half hydrogenated poison) you will find out that pig fat is just about the tastiest thing to cook in ever. It's also incredibly healthy, but good luck finding that in your local store, you'll have to find a good butcher like what Ed is talking about.

Nicholas Sortino Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 I just pour my bacon fat through a coffe filter after cooking it and put it in the fridge. And Blamo, instant lard. I also have a 5-gallon bucket of grass-fed beef tallow in my pantry, and 2 2.5lbs buckets of grass-fed lamb tallow as well. I love my lard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Naterman Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Yes! I need to find some tallow around here. Where do you find yours, the local livestock people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikke Olsen Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 A dressing I discovered and was taught to make in Japan is sesame dressing. I simply love it!Tahin (ground sesame paste)Vinegar (in Japan it was rice vinegar, but i use apple cider vinegar)Honey or other sweetenerSesame oilA little salt or soy sauceThin with either water or milk if desiredI usually make of 1 teaspoon tahin, and the rest is just very small doses. Experiment with how you like the taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
