    After dinner I'm going to pop some popcorn in bacon fat. A friend of mine did it the other night and said it was fantastic. IDK why I hadn't thought of this before lol.

    Has anyone tried it?

    Yes, I have tried it, but did not like it..... WAY too salty for me. We just use coconut oil or vegetable oil
