I admit I’ve never tried this. Not sure why it hasn’t occurred to me until today.

[UPDATE] - I made a batch out of the grease from six standard-sized slices of bacon, and I’d guess about 1/4 cup of white corn kernels (I just filled the bottom of the pan with a single layer without measuring). Flavored only with salt - no butter - in order to detect its base flavor. It is basically indistinguishable from popcorn popped in the likes of corn or vegetable oil. I’ll take it ! Always looking for new uses for bacon fat; throwing it away / wasting it is immoral, but I’m not a fan of having jars/cans of it laying around. I’ve used it as fuel-additive in the wood stove, but that also feels like a waste. It’s better than that.

Hey ARM - Been a short while !

Yeah, I dropped out there for about three months or so, but Providentially logged in just minutes after Putt posted his Can’t Keep It Up announcement.

Looks like everybody got the same memo about this place. I had an account here from 2018, but lost the password.

I made bear memes.

Yeah, we’re polar bears now. It’s like that episode of Adventure Time, the Food Chain one.

These probably qualified as the best memes on Voat for 2020.

The Searchvoat for “antiracistMetal” only gives me results back two months. It looks like a very turbulent period, though productive.
