Bacon

Take a nice rump roast. Slice it in the middle to make an opening. Fill said opening with Spinach and Feta. Lay Bacon strips on the roast to cover it.

Cook at a low heat (250ish) for a few hours, so the roast is still pink inside.

Now, throw away the bacon (no, the flavor is gone, it's all now in the roast...it's ok). You can enjoy the roast as is...BUT...

Put roast in the fridge over night...

Take horseradish and cream cheese. Mix well (add chives if you like). Cut two nice thick slices of italian bread. Spread the mixture on it liberally. Slice a thick slice of the roast. Place on bread.

EAT.

Yeah, it's gonna kill ya...what a way to go.

Yeah, ya say that now but wait until they crack your chest and with that there spreader, crank it until something breaks, oops. And afterwards your family is looking down at you in the CSICU and your all hooked up to every piece of equipment you can imagine and you can't even talk and so what happens? They say: "Why did you eat that whole roast? Why?"

And the kids ask, "Mommy is that hole in Daddy's chest where all the fat goes?"

I remember seeing Art Donovan, who was a (I think) defensive end for the Baltimore Colts in the 50's-early 60's, on the Tonight Show years ago. This is a guy who has a 48" pizza named after him in a pizza parlor in Baltimore. Johnny asks him, "Don't people worry about you, that you won't live very long the way you eat and drink?"

Artie replies, "Ah, I just say to those people, just set me up with a bunch of salami, some bologna, pepperoni, maybe some cheese, a couple cases of beer, a few pizzas -- sit me under a tree and let me explode. I'll die happy."

A former ex-hippie of my acquaintance (who was once married to a very well known poet [seriously! They exists!]) was living the back-to-the-land in the seventies, and by accident, the pigs managed to break out of the pen and into her little plantation in the next field. They gorged on hemp on the very day that the truck was due to arrive to take them for their last ride.

The driver was dumbfounded. "They're just marching up the ramp", he said. "Pigs never do that. They know where I'm taking them."

She laughed. "They're stoned," she said.

My mom used to save the grease and then give it to the local market. Does anyone know if they did something with it during WW2? She did that till the mid 50s.

Looks like it might have been used to pack munitions for shipment.

There was this on one website:

Families would try anything to get by. For example, one thing you could do during the war was to save bacon grease. You could turn the grease in to a government office, and get extra meat ration stamps in return. Why? Because war munitions factories used bacon grease to make bombs and other forms of ammunition. Many a family secured a turkey at Christmas time by having someone haul containers of bacon grease down snow-covered sidewalks, to get the coupons needed.

The fats contain Triglycerides which can be made into glycerin (and lipids) through saponification and then the glycerin into Nitroglycerin and that into dynamite and other explosives. I believe that "Fight club" has a vague mention of this process.
