this is aimed at Serowbot mostly,remember I said we had a nice prime rib dinner on Sunday ,well this week I will reep the benifits,Jerry will have a heart attack just reading this, I buy this real crunchy bread I let it age a day or two then toast a couple of thick slices,and then spread the fat drippings from the roast on the toast with a dash of salt , talk about toast to die for ! in this case though it could well be true. It used to be very popular back in the old country,you could even buy it in a cafe, (not a restaurant) a kaff to Londoners.

Hey, Mick, we have two very similar kinds of toast here in Italy, very similar to what you describe.

One is called "focaccia" (I mean the original focaccia from Genova)

It is fresh bread dough, with extra olive oil and salt, kneaded with your knuckles and baked.
The combination of the wheat, oil and salt are an easy,cheap and very efficient way of getting your carbohydrates !!!
Tasty, too !

The other kind is a dry salted biscuit called "galletta" (if you're a seafarer) or "fresa" (if you're a farmer)

GALLETTA

FRESA or FRESELLA

They are either baked with no yeast, and cmoe out of the oven rock hard, or are baked, sliced in half (like you would with a bagel) and rebaked until biscuit-brown.
They will keep for... years...
Then, you simply sprinkle water (or just dunk them) until they're soft, and apply dressing as per your tastes.

GALLETTA

FRESA or FRESELLA

Roll Eyes

Now, where did I puit that white wine...

... used to save bacon grease and have it on toast... (back when animal fat was good for you)...

But now,... if you do a ham or roast, or a turkey,... pour all the juices into a jar, and refrigerate... the fat will harden at the top, leaving delicious fat free juices for stews and gravies at the bottom... (Yum!)... still not as good as drippings though...

I also remember buying "Scratchings" from the Fisn'n'chip shop for a penny a bag... that was the bits of fried batter that fall off the fish in the vat... (wonder if they still sell them?)...

...and now I'm hungry again... Huh

Of course, I loved to do the same thing with day old Yorkshire pudding too.

I guess most people who ate the fried batter are all dead now, but I often did buy it ,best penny I ever spent.You are right on the meat jelly
at the bottom of the dripping,that's the best part, I have just enough for breakfast..

All the better for living in colder or damp climates. Toast and drippings - one of the finer things in life. Where would one find a day old yorkshire pudding to use in lieu of toast? Never saw anything but an empty plate leave the table at Mum's or at my house.
