You just reminded of a great video I watched at one point – the counterpoint to the “meat is bad for the environment” Gaian nonsense is “no actually, animals are fantastic at turning things that humans either can’t eat or have no nutritional value to us, into delicious and healthy protein.”

Interesting, I’ll have to include that video in the next browser cruncher. I do wonder how well that would work with an electric hob, though (which is really annoying, I strongly prefer cooking over a gas stove myself).

And yes, bacon grease is THE BEST. Back when I lived in the US, I kept a jar of bacon grease runoff in the kitchen. It was the PERFECT cooking fat.

Want a tip for making tasty scrambled eggs? Crack them into a cold pan along with at least a tablespoon and a half of butter, turn up the heat, and scramble them until it melts (this is basically what Gordon Ramsay does. although I don’t usually take them off the heat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhJFyyukAzA). They come out super fluffy and taste great.

Know what’s even better than butter, though? Bacon grease. I personally love to cook up a few strips in a pan, drain the excess grease into a coffee mug, and then fry up 2-3 eggs in what’s left. Once you run out of bacon, take the grease mug out of the fridge and use it instead of butter to coat the pan. Dee-licious!
