She is now a member of the clique then.

Happy it is you Pollwatch.

It is a lot more fun reading controversy though.

[Bob]

I get a huge kick out of Polwatch and seldom claim I love a poster. I am not IN LOVE, but love her posts. She has won my love at times.

The same as a mods - zip, nada, nothing.

I've been wondering when Pol was going to be included in the VIP ranks.

Plus I'm glad to see that we're back to announcing VIP additions.

Plus I'm glad to see that we're back to finally adding VIP members who actually contribute to the forum and not just popular with some members, for what it's worth.

Yeah, but I was really drunk one time a long time ago and went to an all nigher diner and ordered this huge plate of fries, dumped a whole bottle of hot sauce on them and even drank the "gravy" after downing that plate of fries.

The hangover the next day was... special. Since then I have a hard time with hot sauce and fries.

Yes, diabetes is often caused and cured by diet.

[PolWatch]

diabetes is dangerous....just the idea of it scares me! My husband & I both have slight cholesterol issues...not real bad...we only have fried food once a week (for a couple of rednecks, that is a real sacrifice!)

When I was in Bama we were eating fried catfish and okra like nobody's business. Everybody served it.

And everyone served that sweet tea which I think is disgusting. Hard to find a place that served beer though.

[Mister D]

Is there a connection between fried food and cholesterol?

[Peter1469]

Is there a connection between fried food and cholesterol?

I would say yes. And vegetable oil is particularly unhealthy for you.

[PolWatch]

fried foods is one of the things the doc told us to avoid...I think its the fat content

[Peter1469]

vegetable oil is very high in omega 6 trans-fatty acids and causes inflammation

[Dr. Who]

Some, like canola oil are better than others.

I use olive oil for everything. I never let it hit its smoke point though. I never fry over high heat.

[Dr. Who]

I use olive oil for everything. I never let it hit its smoke point though. I never fry over high heat.
Olive oil is good. Millions of Italians, Greeks and Lebanese can't be wrong. I use it too, but not for anything that needs higher heat or where I don't want the olive oil flavor transfer. For example, I would never use it for a Chinese stir fry.

[Mister D]

Yeah, I've used Italian, Greek, Spanish, Turkish, whatever. I don't care as long as it's virgin and first cold pressed.

It would be weird for Chinese food. I do fry eggs in it though.

[Common]

Is there a connection between fried food and cholesterol?

Yes and what your frying can make it much worse, breaded and fried pork chops retain far more cholesterol than grilling or broiling.

Fried foods do not release fats and cholesterol they hold them in

[Dr. Who]

I go full on decadent when it comes to fried eggs. I like them fried in butter. As a result, I don't often eat fried eggs, but when I do, I thoroughly enjoy them. I've tried olive oil, but it's just not the same. They taste olivey (sp)!

[PolWatch]

we limit fried to once a week....big day for favorite foods! I never believed I would see the day when my husband would ask for baked chicken....but he now likes baked better than fried...whodathunkit?

I used to do the traditional eggs in butter until I realized that's all I was buying butter for. I don't use it for anything else. I also use bacon grease so olive oil is typically plan b for eggs.

Ah, eggs fried in bacon grease. I won't do scrambled that way, but sunny side up I love in bacon fat. Serious guilt factor afterward, but it's worth it.

[Mister D]

Ah, eggs fried in bacon grease. I won't do scrambled that way, but sunny side up I love in bacon fat. Serious guilt factor afterward, but it's worth it.

I dump most of it out. Just enough so the eggs don't stick.

[Mister D]

Actually, I should save it I guess. Why throw out usable fat? I could freeze it.

[Dr. Who]

I dump most of it out. Just enough so the eggs don't stick.
I do too, but have you ever had your sunny side up eggs cooked with the hot bacon grease poured over the eggs while they are cooking? It just congeals the top of the egg. It's so good, but so bad for you. I haven't had them that way for several years, but I still remember the flavor! Why does everything that's bad for you taste so good? It's really unfair.

[Peter1469]

Actually, I should save it I guess. Why throw out usable fat? I could freeze it.

I put bacon fat in a can and store it in a cabinet. I should probably use a mason jar so I can put a lid on it.

I usually avoid eggs up because I just can't deal with undercooked whites. Over easy, fried hard, or scrambled. That method sounds like it's worth trying since it will cook the whites.

That's why I'm glad I have a love for heat and garlic. To some extent it can replace excess fat.

[Mister D]

My mother used to save it back in the day. Funny, but no one in my family was ever fat or had high cholesterol issues. Mom would use bacon fat to fry onions and other veggies for certain soups where the bacon fat enhanced the flavor. It's funny, but she used to say something she got from her father, that soup without "eyes" had no flavor. (the "eyes" are the little clear circles of fat that show up on top of the soup.)

[Mister D]

Cool. I'd rather have it ready to use. now that I think about it, when I worked at a deli in college the owner would just leave cooked bacon out for days. Cooked and cured it's fine without refrigeration.

Animal fats are good for you (in moderation- defined by your activity level) and vegetable fats are best avoided.

It's great for soup. I do that too.

I always use bacon grease to make a roux for gumbos. Its just not the same using any other oil. I fry eggs by splashing the hot grease over the yolks. We don't have them often so its a treat for when we are feeling dangerous (!)

It's a texture thing Pete. Under cooked whites have a very snotty feel in the mouth. All things being equal, even if the eggs could be eaten raw, I prefer the whites to be cooked.

oh, for the days we ate like that all the time! Most of the time I bake our bacon on a rack to get all the grease out of it.

I put raw eggs in protein shakes and blend them up.

I also make grits and add two eggs at the end- then mix it all together before any egg cooks. Yummy.

Me too. It's not the same, but what the heck. Funny, but when you go to a breakfast restaurant, often the reason that the eggs and bacon are so tasty is because they cook everything in decadent fat.

[PolWatch]

sounds conceited, but it is good. One of my brothers once made a detour from New Hampshire to south Alabama while traveling to El Paso, TX for one day....for a pot of gumbo. :wink:

I started using pork shoulder bacon.

LOL. Especially in Germany. German (German themed) restaurant menus are probably 80% pork dishes, at least in Munich. After coming back it took a couple of weeks before I wanted to eat pork again. Of course I was sick when I came back, so I wan't eating much of anything anyway, but I really wasn't interested in eating anything remotely like pork schnitzel.

I've never tried pork schnitzel but I looked up the recipe and it looks good....just fried pork chops, pounded thin. Another thing to try! I get tired of cooking & eating the same thing prepared the same way. Good thing my husband is adventurous!

You can also do the same thing with chicken. Add a little marinara sauce and mozzarella or Parmesan cheese on top and bingo you have chicken parmigiana.

[PolWatch]

I've made that....until recently we could not get veal in this area so I used chicken breasts, pounded thin. I love Italian food but I'm a novice so I stick to the recipes rather than try my own versions. I did figure out that chicken could be used instead of veal for picata, etc.
