Well cooked, often crispy animal fat.
Be it the crispy crackling on a pork or gammon joint, the marbled fat running through a nice joint of beef brisket or even just a packet of Pork Scratchings, there's something so deliciously primal and primally delicious about a nice bit of animal fat that the expression "you are what you eat" becomes more literal week by week.
Of course not all animal fat is nice, a overly fatty piece of meat, undercooked fat or an overly greasy meal can be quite disgusting, but nice fat is nice.
For the healthiest and tastiest, real and down-to-earth 'french' fries, do as all the smart and real folks did and cook your fries in beef tallow. Crispest, tastiest, healthiest fries there are. Your body can make use of everything contained, unlike with all that hydrogenated, bleached, deodorized industrial bullshit we're forced to be stuck with now.
Here, this is my favourite fries recipe - <link=http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/tuscan_fries_61356>Tuscan Fries. Make fries like a melonfarmer, use fresh herbs, smear gooey warm garlic over lightly toasted bread, enjoy life.
Establish a steady source for beef tallow or collect it yourself by eating lots and lots of very lean beef heart, collecting the tallow until you're ready to fry a batch of the most delicious fries no fast-food outlet will ever serve you again.
