Does anyone know what “dripping” means? I use drippings to make gravy (the fat and juice). Not to sound gross but is this the same thing? Seems like an odd word.
“same thing”
I believe so. ugh.
I believe “drippings” means the lard that would have resulted from boiling the body down. Yuk.
You folks ever hear of Yorkshire Pudding? Dough placed beneath the roast on the spit to catch the drippings and cook, and fed to the children so they didn’t eat much of the meat!
Been there, done that. Got several bellies full!
