Posted by: yi at January 21, 2004 6:02 PM yep, bacon fat is an awesome starter for sauces and gravy. Basically anything that you use oil (olive) for. It really is the missing component in getting gravy just right. Posted by: c9 at January 22, 2004 12:04 PM Recipe for bacon fat sandwich: Fry bacon. Eat the bacon. Let the grease firm up in the pan until lunch. Scoop grease on to a piece of bread. Spread thickly. Eat. Kroenings are not a skinny breed. Posted by: Jenny at January 22, 2004 6:59 PM yimay. go to uchi and get their little skewer things -- asparagus wrapped in bacon. morsels of delight! mmm! Posted by: p at January 24, 2004 9:22 AM Came across this site surfin'. Just thought I'd add my .02 worth. I'm 64 years old and growing up in northern Wisconsin after WWII a regular for us kids was congealed bacon fat spread on a piece of homemade bread with a 1/4" thick slice of raw onion, salt and pepper and this was heaven. This was a snack, say mid-afternoon, not a meal. My grandparents raised me for a time and Grandma always had a stoneware bowl on the range shelf (wood burner) with saved bacon fat in it. In addition to bacon fat sandwiches it was used for frying potatoes, eggs, onions, browning meats and a variety of other cooking. I still save bacon fat and cook the same way even though everything you hear or read tells you that this is bad for you. My grandpa lived to be 83 eating these things plus he smoked a pipe and chewed tobacco ‘til the day he died. I suppose there are those that would say “He could have lived to be 100 if he didn’tâ€. Well, to each their own. Bacon fat rules.>> Source: <a href="http://www.holyshitake.com/archives/2004/01/consider_bacon.html" target="_blank">http://www.holyshitake.com/arc hives/2004/01/consider_bacon.html</a>

McDonalds do serve the pancakes etc here as well but I never hear of anyone ordering them very often. My friends and I would order a bacon and egg mcmuffin or a sausage and egg Mcmuffin over pancakes. I only eat at McDonalds occasionally though, so maybe I'm wrong??

Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy <Mitch loves the pancakes but never ever puts the syrup on them> That would drive me freaking crazy. SPAM is pretty good. But as much as my heart (and tastebuds) belongs to ketchup, the thought of ketchup touching butter or sandwich bread or eggs or waffles is extremely unappealing to me. Yet I occasionally enjoy little doo-dads of ketchup on creamed corn, or macaroni and cheese, or for deluxe dining, macaroni and cheese with cut up hot dogs in it. Ain't we all interestin'?
Originally Posted By alexbook >><Mitch loves the pancakes but never ever puts the syrup on them> That would drive me freaking crazy.<< I've been known to just pick up pancakes with my fingers and eat them dry (no butter, no syrup). Other times, I'll drown them till it's a butter and syrup soup with little bits of pancake. It all depends what kind of mood I'm in. (And either way, I drink Diet Coke with them.)

Originally Posted By avromark <<but I've rarely had Kraft M&C.>> Gotta Have KD! (Kraft Dinner, the original name which for some reason has stuck in Canada for the last century or so) I will only eat homemade Mac and Cheese, as in not microwaved, real cheese, real tomato, real BBQ Pork So what I gather from this is once I have kids I won't have time to make a decent breakfast, so I'll have to switch to frozen hash, and sandwiches and not a full traditional breakfast (Who eats Eggo's, if it isn't batter over a waffle maker, ewww). Sigh. The sacrifices.

Now tonight Chad's stomach is upset. *sigh* Anyway, back to the food discussion.... heh...
