Anyone miss American breakfast?

My Okie granny had a big Folgers coffee can for her bacon grease, which she re-used in other dishes later.  It seemed normal to me at the time, but now I look back and think how was that stuff not rancid, and how did we all not get food poisoning?

While we're on the subject of grease! I save any which renders off anything, for the birds. They love it. 

Never thought of that... better than buying fat balls!

Ha! Your granny sounds exactly like mine except it was a Maxwell House can! That old bacon grease made the best hand cut french fries and fried chicken!   

I just had Ball glass jars of bacon grease. It stays good for a really long time. It's a saturated fat which doesn't go rancid as quickly as rapeseed, etc which is already rancid by the time you buy it.

Is there anything bacon can't do?!

What is this rapeseed oil? I've never cooked with it. I generally use olive oil or sunflower oil.

Do you use it? If so, do you like how it cooks and makes food taste?

It's a vegetable oil. Dollars to donuts you've cooked with it. And it is in tons of stuff. It's just called by it's proper name here. All those pretty yellow fields over here is rapeseed.

Rapeseed oil is canola oil (CANadian LOw Acid) oil.   I googled it when I first moved over since I had no idea what rapeseed oil was.

Canola oil, or canola for short, is a vegetable oil derived from rapeseed that is low in erucic acid, as opposed to colza oil. It is also the name of the seed variety that produces it. Wikipedia

But it wasn't refrigerated or anything.  It sat there forever, at the side of the hot stove, in the hot California summers... the thought of that gies me the boak now, but of course as a kid it was just the done thing.  My own mom never used it, though.  I wonder if that's why my granny's pancakes were always the absolute best?

Yes, Canola. I was sitting at work trying to think of the American name.

And omg, half the time I can no longer explain anything to anyone without sounding like an idiot while I struggle with the names of things.

Ok, of course, I have used canola oil. I'm still adjusting to all the different names of things.
