We saved our bacon grease as a kid. My dad would use it to make the most amaaazing gravy, and then we'd have bacon and/or sausage, eggs and biscuits and slather the gravy in it. It will clog your arteries, but it is so worth it. I don't really do it too often since I've gotten older, but every once in a while I'll get a craving for it and make it up. Additionally, bacon grease in waffles makes them so much better.

The word lard grosses me out.
