Lard !

Dripping- never could see why my mum used to like it spread on bread.

Gross.

The right stuff is awesome, pork dripping, especially the brown jelly at the bottom of the pot, wonderful.

I remember it, I ate it way back then, but I wouldn't touch it now. Unhealthy or what?

Incredibly unhealthy, but so tasty..

Whoooooopy doooooooooooo !

Bit like pork crackling

Or after TBH. So, Yes & yes & yes.

Sadly yes

I remember being able to go into a butchers shop and buy pork crackling. Now you have to buy it in little bags and it's nothing like the real thing, and the type of butchers that sold them seem to have all gone.

I make good pork crackling,

Our Oz organic butcher has it however you want it. Should I mention the crocodile burgers he sells?

I had a Christmas job when I was 16 when I was at the other end of some of those tubes at a department store in Manchester. I had to sit on a chair on a rail sliding up and down a wall of these tube things, open the tube, take the money, put the change in, then dispatch the thing back up the right tube.

And the pop man came and delivered stone flagons of dandelion and burdock. You returned the empty flagon the following week.

We had a bread van that called several times week and sold lovely warm fresh-baked loaves. My mum and I used to share the crust, with butter, while it was still warm and crisp.

Try Morrisons if there are any down your way. They sell it

I love Dandelion and Burdock. I wonder if you can get it here...
