...Of you new award-winning sandwich? I'd try it.

About that big crock of rendered bacon fat: inquiring minds want to know:

1. How long does it stay unrancid and safe to use? (a) forever; (b) a really long time; or (c) it probably went bad last year, or the bottom layer maybe, but use it anyway--it won't cause measles after all.

2. If you got your bacon from the halal Palestinian guy at the corner store, is it kosher?

Chef Ches, I'll never manage those uniform dices, especially at 3 a.m.!!

I always have bacon fat in the fridge and it never goes bad. It also makes a killer biscuit dough for making pigs in blankets. Chicken fat also, too.

Yum.

Great point on simple. The potatoes well as a foundation if you're going to be drinking later that day, or if you wake up still drunk before the hangover sets in.

Smoked salt is a good adjunct for the bacon fat, I guess . . .

What if you got your own laying hens?

Thanks.

Don't worry; it still works with non-uniform dice.

1. What those two above said.

2. My understanding is that the only kosher pork is the kind they make at Chinese restaurants, but I've heard of "bacon" made from beef (not sure if it's from kosher cuts).

Use extra light olive oil with the butter. Extra light has a much higher flash point than the good stuff. Save the good stuff for salads & bread & such.

I like the Old Bay route. I use just straight up sweet paprika most times.
