Canola oil...good or bad?

THere are no better tasting eggs than eggs scrambled in bacon grease!!

You got it! I can remember at that time a boyfriend came over and my mother made him eggs in the bacon grease! He said to me ~ I cant eat this she made it in the pan she cooked bacon in! Well there went that guy LOL! She kept the old coffee can on the stove top and used that grease for alot of things! And they survived just fine LOL!

amen, sister....no LARD in chicken soup.

but chicken fat is a whole other story :)

do you render your own? do you use it?

when i was in canada....we go frequently, we had peameal bacon at a friend's house....it was nummy.

I tend to leave the chicken soup "au naturel" when I make it; just give it a perfunctory skim to get off that nasty foam, but I leave everything else just like Bubbie (Grandma) made it. As for knaidlach (matzoh balls) I use extra virgin olive oil instead of chicken fat (shmultz) in my recipe.

Meanwhile, any chicken fat/juices that are left in a pan after I roast chicken usually winds up as a bit of a treat over Zio's kibble. Otherwise, it just gets tossed. I also tend to skim the solidified chicken fat off the soup after it's been in the fridge for a while.

I prefer extra virgin olive oil for most of my cooking except if the heat exceeds it's upper range; then I'll use canola or peanut oil.

Hmm... maybe we DO need to start a recipe thread!

Why do those Chinese waiters always smile and tell me when I ask about a dish ... "I'm not sure what in it, but I understand it very good ...

Are you fixing Jewish Chinese Food? I guess you use Kosher salt and no sweet/sour pork!?!?!?!

If this is aimed at me, I mentioned in a previous post that I eat pork. However, I don't mix milk with meat. Although I did eventually get used to eating pizza with meat on it, it took a long time.

As for "Jewish" Chinese food... no way. I spent most of my life in Toronto, which has the largest ethnic Chinese community outside of China. IOW, I learned to make Chinese food using authentic Chinese ingredients from Chinese grocery stores. Same with my East or West Indian food. I always try to source out local ethnic stores for my components.

i'll never forget the time we had szechuan something and my honey asked what was in it...i thought he was going to hurl when she told him he was eating stomach.....one of the best dishes i ever had...

why not indian food?

Indian food is the best! Butter chicken, rice and garlic naan, man, I'd kill for that right now. I haven't had it for years, no Indian restaurants round here and living with someone who isn't exactly adventurous with his taste buds.
