Colin Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Is this because she married Mr. Always Right? Poor woman! Not so much of the 'Poor Woman' thank you. She gives as good as she gets.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOYAANISQATSI Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 my grannie is nearly 90 n when i,ve been alang fur me dennar (which wis often saucermeat , tatties on ions and beans ) she aye uses a bit o bread ta swab up dat fat oot o da pan My gran had the same approach; after dishing up a fry up with tatties, she'd pour the fat from the pan over my tatties claiming "Doo needs yun, hit's guid fur di hert"It was hard to argue doctor stats with someone 97 year old.Keeping hersel busy seemed to be the ticket to her longevity, she only seemed to sit on her backside when there were visitors in.After she'd dished oot the oversized whiskey measures.

JohanofNess Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 It should also be noted that being skinny doesn't translate into being healthy. You can be a 9st weakling but if you're a lazy sod it doesn't mean your immune to heart disease. I'm a fat sausage but there are a lot of folk in my office and down the local gym who can't do what I do in terms of lifting weights or duration of cadio exercise. Granted once I lose more weight I'll take the piss out of the fatties too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldscalloway Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Koyaanisquatsi story about his gran reminds me that in our house, the fat from the Sunday beef or lamb was poured into a tin pot. During the week when we were having boiled fish and tatties, which is a bit bland, a bit of the fat was melted and poured over to give a lovely taste. Happy days.

TeeAyBee Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 We do a similar thing. This sunday we had a cheap (very) duck from Tesco. The meat made a fine meal for two. The fat drained from the roast prior to serving and before making the gravy was decanted into tubs. The duck carcass was then boiled down into stock. I now have 3 litres of duck stock (great for making duck soup) with the fat skimmed off. Two old ramikins full of duck far (excellent for roasting tatties) and enough duck left for sandwiches today (which I forgot). No waste to speak of, no extraneous fat added and all the natural fats re-used. Okay so I'm on the hefty side but I don't eat unhealthily or particularly waste anything or add anything artificial. My cholesterol is good, my blood pressure is fine and I can work a 16 hour shift without dropping from exhaustion (okay so on day five I'm a bit tired but you know what I mean). From my perspective I agree with the data presented in the obesity study but disagree with the terminology and the intimations about Shetland.

paulb Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 had a tesco goose two years ago at christmas it was all fat very little meat. ive got some running around now and one is looking very plump. im not sure that the duck fat is very good for you. now some proper dripping with the bits is better. very nice roast potatos. veggie oil just does not work as well.

TeeAyBee Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Funny how a thread on obesity in Shetland has turned into a discussion about how nice certain foods are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite agree - I use the duck fat in the same way I'd use Goose fat to roast my spuds. I certainly don't eat the fat directly and drain the tatties well before serving. Veggie Ghee is quite good for roasting too as it works well at high temperatures and is low in cholesterol (to bring this slightly back on topic).

paulb Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 i train hard. does the veggie ghee have any of those trans fatty acid thingies in it. im sure there was a report that show lard was better than some vegatble oils but dont quote me.

Guest posiedon Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Sunflower oil is the best for you, least amount of "bad" fats and most amount of "good" fats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
