Chips in pork's fat... then duck's fat.
What happened to the only reasonnable beef's fat ?
(well, if you want extra flavor, there is of course the option of
horse's fat, now that's one with a real strong flavor & taste)
IMHO, pork's fat is good for low temperature, long cooking.
Duck's fat hold high temperature quite good, but does not endure it too
long.
Ducks & covers for the vegetable oils coming soon to make bad chips...

Don't get off work for Halloween here either. Not sure of government
workers though, those lazy asses seem to get everything off, which makes
using public transport, in places where its government run, pretty damn
useless on nearly every "holiday". I am sometimes surprised their isn't
a government, "We just don't feel like working today.", holiday. lol

You mean like Labor Day, where we celebrate everyone who works hard by
taking the day off?

Umm. No, actually Labor Day was a day set aside to remember how "Labor
Unions" helped save the US from child labor, 12+ hour work days, unsafe
work conditions, and helped us recover from the "last" depression. It
seems somehow fitting that the idiots now want us to think its for
"working people and corporations", and that, "labor unions are
destroying the nation". But, you can be forgiven, I suppose, for
drinking the coolaid, since it is "herbal" coolaid, and being "natural",
no one bothered to verify the ingredients for safety, or content. lol
