When we buthchered the pigs we raised I took as much lard as I could get. I put lard in a lot of the baking I did, especially my waffles.

Plastic was banned here, paper is available for a price, all to encourage you to bring your own bags...

I cook everything in bacon grease. Hamburger, chicken, and fish. If it kills me, I'll die with a smile on my face.

I’ve never cared for beef tallow, I’ve found the strong flavor would come through, always like pork lard a very mild flavor, used to do a lot of pork when we raised and butchered our own, but now butter gets used as I don’t have enough pork fat to justify the time rendering it down.

I only use beef tallow on beef.

Many say french fries in beef tallow is very good. I've never tried it.

.. good night … no wonder y’all yanks comin down here in droves

We were told that too much fat was bad for us…
We were told that too much bacon, hamburger , etc was the bad guy.
We were never told that fat from carbs were actually more dangerous.
Yes, we definitely need carbs to keep our motors running… but we aren’t nearly as active as we used to be that would normally burn them off

Been to the grocery or any store for that matter and what bags did they give you? Plastic over paper has been pushed for many years unless your found a penny candy store up there. SMH

Everything is banned in NY but not in places I've shopped never see paper bags handed out.

Grocery stores around here will give you paper if you want it.
