Steak and/or Pork: Do you eat the fat? Or trim it off and leave it?

[Vektor]

Because not only do I EAT the fat, I LOVE it. It's my favorite part. Others at my table have reacted in horror, but MAN I love me some fat.

And, my cholesterol and triglycerides are flawless.

So, any other fat eaters out there?

1. I trim the fat off.

:-)

[LaurenG]

2. I don't even eat the steak or pork meat.

I used to but didn't eat the fat. My nephew used to feel the same way as you when he was small it was his favorite part too.:hi:

[meegbear]

3. Eat it baby ...

I try to avoid fatty cuts, but I want the fat on there for flavah!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

4. Pork yes, steak no.

Pork fat is more chewable and tasty. Beef fat is rubbery.

5. I cook the steak with it on

then cut it off on my plate and save it for the animals of the house

[Shell Beau]

15. Exactly what we do! The fat does have good flavoring to it, but

I could never bring myself to eat it! The dogs love it!

[Jamastiene]

6. I avoid pork, but leave the far with a steak.

And yes, I eat the fat when it comes to steak. Pork fat, well, isn't that basically bacon anyhow? :shrug: I eat bacon on ocassion, but not often.

7. I look over my shoulder

and eat it. It's the tastiest part.

And yeah, I know it is BAD for me.

My cholesterol is 169 but I'm very overweight so I can't chortle about it.

In my defense, I don't get lot of beef OR pork.

[Ron Mexico]

8. Trim and leave.

Even the thought of animal fat that's more chewy than Bubble Yum makes me sick.

[ghostsofgiants]

9. Trim it off and leave it...

Ugh, so nasty.

[El Fuego]

10. The fat is the best part. I EAT IT!!

I know what you mean about people reacting in horror. They've been listening to the anti-fat nazis and they don't know what they're missing.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

11. I eat the fat on steak - it's yummilicious

I don't eat pork at all.

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. I like the fat on beef, but not pork, and love it most when it's grilled

When the fat on the side of the steak gets kinda charred and smoky... man, that's tasty!

Otherwise, I'm not such a fan of fat.

[B Calm]

13. I trim it off and give it to the cats, they love it and it makes their fur

coats shine!

[William Bloode]

14. I eat both.

When i feed my cattle i make sure they get very marbled and fatty(feed lots of grain and sweet feed), as it makes for much more tender and tasty meat.

[Left Is Write]

16. I trim it. I don't like it.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

17. It depends on whether there are dogs in the equation.

[Taverner]

18. I don't eat it, can't stand it...

FYI current studies are showing that cholestorol has more to do with genetics than diet...

[trackfan]

19. I love it - but almost always trim it off for health reasons

Same with chicken skin.
