Who else is totally grossed out by FAT????

Fat=bleck. I don't notice it in bacon or hamburger, but in STEAK?!!? Nothing should get in the way of my yummy steak! Marbled steak is the evil lord in the realm of steak. Either way, fat is awful!!

YES YES YES, fat on bacon and a big juicy rib eye is DELISH! I love it!

I eat pretty lean meat all the time. I don't usually deal with much fat anyway except the bacon which we have almost every morning.

Fat girl chiming in here

It's nice to know that if we were all on a ship and stranded in the middle of the ocean, most of you wouldn't choose me as a "prime cut!!!"

I do like my cuts of red meat to be "marbled" a bit- but no huge globs.

Fat=flavor

I can't eat big chunks of fat in steak but the marbling in the meat itself is fine. I love bacon (haven't eaten it in a while, though).

My sister always ate the fat trimmed at our table growing up. I only like it for cooking, or melted into bacon or steak (tough to do with rare or med rare, so only a little marbling). Every year we get a half hog (home raised on goat milk by a friend), and ask for trimmed boneless chops. Dog can't have the bones and kid stops eating when he gets within an inch of the bone, so this works. The butcher makes better use of the bones than we would.
Yep I have a tiny jar of the best bacon fat in the fridge.
Ugh I never knew about the 'grease pot' some folks keep in the cabinet. We were at DH's aunties home, playing hide & seek with 3 yr old son's new stuffed dino toy, stupid me stuck it in a pot in the cabinet.

it was the GREASE pot! Yukkkk.

poor dino was never the same.

I keep the bacon grease/fat in the fridge for home fries and eggs. I like steak with marbleing but as soon as the chicken, pork steak hits my plate I have to cut off that huge piece on the edge. The fiance likes it and if he doesn't get it I give it to the outside cat. (Dog doesnt get pure fat. Not good for the animals.)
Is it me or is chicken fat the worst. I about gag when I miss it and eat it!!!!

I am all for good fat, but for me that comes in the form of nuts and avocado, olives... not the cholesterol, icky chewy, slimy, gummy meat stuff.

As a matter of fact, I do save that kind of fat! It makes the best fried eggs and fried potatoes. I will leave the fat on my steaks through the cooking process, but I simply can't make myself eat it. It's just sooooo chewy, blech!

I agree, that's totally different to me. I'm talking about the squishy, sticky, gelatin kind of fat that just

makes me gag if I get some in my mouth.

A steak just isn't the same without a good thin line of fat around the edge when ya grill it.

but then, you've seen my backside, so ya know I don't worry much about such things

meri

And YOU have seen MY backside, so it's probably a surprise that I'm such a fat-picker
