RichHL Nov 2023 2:13pm, 17 Nov 2023 22,708 posts	0 RichHL There was a lot of dripping on toast in my early years. I turned out normal. Normal for Cambridgeshire is not far removed from normal for Norfolk.

Velociraptor Nov 2023 2:39pm, 17 Nov 2023 66,342 posts	0 Velociraptor There was a Dennis the Menace cartoon whose punchline was, "I spread the bread with DRIPPING." Dennis was a little Scottish boy and bread and dripping was something the English ate. We didn't use dripping in our household, chips, bread and tattie scones were friend in lard or Trex. I assumed that when people talked about bread and dripping they meant bread fried in dripping and eaten hot, not cold beef fat butties

Flatlander Nov 2023 3:57pm, 17 Nov 2023 2,969 posts	0 Flatlander Normal for Cambridgeshire is not far removed from normal for Norfolk I have strong links to Cambridgeshire (resident for 45+ years) and Norfolk (200+ years ancestry), as well as being born and bred in London for the first almost 20 years, so what does that make me? I am actually diagnosed as "not normal" so who knows? P.S. I didn't follow my Dad's liking for dripping on bread/toast.
Rosehip Nov 2023 4:04pm, 17 Nov 2023 30,436 posts	0 Rosehip Still have occasional ‘dripping’ spread cold beef sandwiches. Any frying is still done in lard, or saved goose/duck fat. I grew up with grandparents who rendered their own lard from thier own pigs Does not everyone put vinegar on cucumber?
Velociraptor Nov 2023 4:09pm, 17 Nov 2023 66,343 posts	0 Velociraptor If I put vinegar on cucumber it's vinegar mixed with fat, sugar, some additives to make it taste of something, and stabilisers. Put on the spot, I'd rather eat bread spread with dripping than swooshed around in a puddle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
