Goose fat or Beef Dripping?

The sales of beef dripping and goose fat rises dramatically in December as the demand for traditional roasties explodes.

• Beef Dripping is a natural beef fat with no additives or preservatives.
• Goose fat comes from roasting beef bones at high temperatures or cooking fatty beef.
• It is how our ancestors would have cooked, until the production of refined vegetable and corn oils hit the shelves in commercial supermarkets decades ago.
• Goosse fat is the fat from cooking and roasting goose, which would be substanially more fatty than chicken or turkey
• Goose fat would have a more distinct taste..
