After watching that video of RFK Jr explaining how fast food restaurants used to cook fries in beef tallow but then switched to oils, I decided to give it a shot. I used to always use vegetable oil for the fries or a little butter to grill the burgers on a griddle. This time I finally caved in and bought a few gallons of beef tallow. Hoo boy, was it amazing. I'm NEVER going back to vegetable oil, I'll only cook fries in tallow from here on out. The burgers were also the best I've ever made.
I wonder, what are the health benefits of tallow? 🤔
I tend to eat fried food in moderation. Most of my meats I grill, and most of my vegetables are fresh. If I cook them it'll usually be steamed or baked. When it comes to fried food I eat, usually it's scrambled eggs cooked in butter or tiny bit of olive oil. Sometimes I won't even put anything in the pan and just cook scrambled eggs on medium heat. Every once in a while I'll make some french fries but tend to limit it as I know how unhealthy fries can be. I used to eat bacon all the damn time but had to stop as the inflammation was unbearable and it gave me extreme sciatica pain.
