Lovely (unhealthy) stuff!


Not necessarily. I saw on TV on a show called Good Eats that with the right
oils and when prepared properly, after he made a basket of fish and chips
only 1.5 teaspoons (or something around there) of oil got used up.

Yup. Trouble is, in the authentic fish 'n' chip shops here in the UK,
the traditional frying method is to use beef dripping (ie beef fat, if
'dripping' is not a term used in the US).

And, as is so often the case, the unhealthy stuff always tastes better!

In the US "beef dripping" refers to a bloke with a venereal disease.

I have actually never heard that one. Is it for real?

Born and raised right here in the USA- and travelled quite a bit in the US
as well... never heard of that term... must be a very localized term.

Born 'yesterday', and never been in the military.

You've been in this newsgroup more than three weeks. Why would you
take seriously anything Sheldon writes?

Sometimes (rarely) he says something interesting, and he is a lot older than
me, so I figure maybe he knows some obscure things that I don't. I always
thought beef drippings is the stuff that dripps out of a burger when you put
it on a grill.

True enough... but expressions may have multiple meanings literal, figurative,
as well as slang... ie. beef could literally mean a burger, but figuratively
beef could refer to male meat, as in the slang expression "beef cake" (I'm not
going to elaborate on the association with 'dripping'). Whereas cheesecake can
be taken literally, something good to eat, and figuratively... um, also
something good to eat. hehe

Btw, most normal brained human beings are proficient in something, but to date
Tim hasn't demonstrated an expertise level in anything, nor has he contributed
anything whatsoever worthwile to this Newsgroup, not unless some appreciate the
propagation of hate and discontent. Tim is a taker/user/abuser.. obviously a
needs-a-life dreck.

ROFL! That could cause some misunderstandings in UK restaurants!
