Everything about Dripping totally explained
Dripping, also known as
beef or pork dripping, is an
animal fat produced from the fatty or otherwise unusable parts of
cow or
pig carcasses. It is similar to
lard and
tallow.
It is used for
cooking, especially in
British cuisine, significantly so in
Yorkshire, though towards the end of the
20th century dripping had fallen out of favour, due to its being regarded as less healthy than
vegetable oils such as
olive and
sunflower oil.
Traditionally,
fish and chips were fried in beef dripping, and this practice does continue in some places particularly in the North of England, however many such shops now use oils which are considered to be more healthy.
Pork dripping is served cold to be spread on bread (
bread and dripping), particularly for
breakfast. In parts of
Yorkshire, this is known as a "mucky fat" sandwich. It is also served on
toast with salt and sometimes pepper, also mainly for breakfast.
