That is my go to comfort food.

It does needs chips and a couple of slices of buttered plain bread for the perfect combo :heart_eyes:

Unlikely…

See what I mean Jim @Jim - just watch your fingers tho’ :grinning:

My mother bangs on about having these as a child.

Please explain preparation. Sugar cubes? Brown sugar? White sugar? How thick? Butter?

I remember my Grandad giving me a bread and dripping sandwich when I was young and it being the most delicious thing. Not too long ago I tried to recreate the experience and it was disgusting! Was it the all persuasive sense of nostalgia or was my dripping cack, or is it just actually shit?

I used to love dripping on toast, not had it for years

Pure dripping is just lard, you need the bits of meat and seasoning in it to make a delicious sandwich. Try using some of your bbq drippings, they should be awesome.

My step father was from Stafford. He tried to introduce me to dripping sandwiches while watching filems. Nope, horrible things. Love the bloke but what-the-fuck ?

Lard is generally pig fat whereas dripping is usually beef fat. At least that’s how it was always described in the N.E.

Well, yes, you’re right, but what I was trying to say was you need the bits and bobs in it to make it more than just a grease butty.

Indeed, ‘proper’ dripping is the fat that err drips from the beef joint when roasting. It is many a mile away from the blocks of beef dripping you can buy from the butchers.

A real dripping sandwich is a thing of beauty

I seem to remember the one I made was too salty. I’m not exactly known for my under seasoning. :grimacing:

Everything in balance…

Please elaborate
