When I was growing up in the early 60's my nan used to have a permanant bowl of lard in her fridge. I still eat a ton of lard.
She had two pudding bowls. One had the fat from the roast beef from sunday roast. I remember that when it cooled it had a jelly at the bottom.
The other bowl was all the fat left over from cooking, bacon, pig cheek, pig tongue, anthing really that would produce fat.
My Nan told me, when I was a teenager, that during the war the government radio programs advised parents to feed their children more fat to keep them healthy. This is how she got into saving all the fats from all her cooked meals.
We were an extremely healthy family.
Even now, knocking on 70 years I still eat a high fat diet, similar to keto really. But I have been eating a keto diet long before it became fashionalble, all because of my Nan.
My nan used to say "There are no vegetables growing in the Arctic or the Tundra so the Innuit people dont eat vegetables, They eat lots of fat instead".
