Many people get liposuction and this creates the continuous supply of fat required to satisfy the needs of those who simply must have their food fried in human fat. It's a niche market, but I'm certain it exists.
Once processed in exactly the same way as that of cow fat to guarantee its purity, I can see no reason not to market Draculard as a perfectly good way of frying a batch of chips or preparing an English or an Irish breakfast.
Some people might just want it as a novelty item, never to be used (me for example) and I'm working on the label right now.-- xenzag, Jul 06 2014 Vegetarian Black Pudding Vegetarian_20Black_20PuddingThe idea medium in which to fry this. [hippo, Jul 07 2014] Kind of like the Fry Daddy ? Or how about Kirby Fries? Kirby_20Lipo_20Attachment [normzone, Jul 07 2014] I can see police agencies being in favour of this, they could keep tabs on sales as a means of profiling potential Hannibal's, you might find the bulk of your (niche) sales where going through the prison service though, most of those that won't mind being identified by their credit card activity are probably already behind bars (which will be why they won't mind).
Shades of soylent green?-- Skewed, Jul 06 2014 I am now reading [Friend Camp] as Fried Camp every time my eye passes over it.
Thanks for the image ;)-- Skewed, Jul 06 2014 You are a very twisted individual [xennie] I hate/love this. +-- blissmiss, Jul 06 2014 People who are serious about eating high-animal-fat diets will insist that the animals are raised on a natural diet without the use of medications etc. So I would suggest they may complain for this reason, rather than the particular species being farmed and/or harvested from.
Though I have to say ethical vegetarians should be fine with it seeing as it was given with consent and without slaughter or inhumane treatment.-- pocmloc, Jul 06 2014 Paper Street Chip Shop-- mitxela, Jul 06 2014 shirley it's more exfatguination?-- not_morrison_rm, Jul 06 2014 // without … inhumane treatment //
Oh, but some could be arranged, shirley ? At the very least, a webcam would ensure that the fatties were suitably humiliated …-- 8th of 7, Jul 06 2014 First rule of fried club... we don't talk about fried club.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jul 06 2014 ^ [marked-for-tagline]-- 8th of 7, Jul 07 2014 This is fucking disgusting. [+]-- Voice, Jul 07 2014 I suppose it is disgusting, and I apologise for that.... but you have to ask yourself why is it disgusting?-- xenzag, Jul 07 2014 // It's a niche market, but I'm certain it exists. //

You did research on lard. YOU DID RESEARCH ON LARD??? oh my God.-- blissmiss, Jul 07 2014 Lardy, lardy.-- xenzag, Jul 07 2014 Someone's got to do it [bliss], it won't research itself.-- Skewed, Jul 07 2014 "Next on the HalfBakery, Self-Researching Lard ..."-- 8th of 7, Jul 08 2014 Might you see your way clear to send me a couple hundred gallons?

Oh, and BUN [+]-- Grogster, Jul 10 2014 I'm totally for this. I doubt the spread of disease would be a big problem because the fat has to get quite hot to cook anything, and animal fats for cooking (tallow, lard, etc) are cooked at a low temperature (a process called "rendering") which turns the raw fat into fully melted liquid fat and little crispy bits called "cracklins." If anything, I'd be happy to see this kind of recycling destigmatized because it could be a good source of nutrients for someone who needs to gain weight or something.-- Kumawktopus, Jul 11 2014 Regarding diseases, I think the primary concern would be the ones transmitted by prions. Low temperature rendering won't eliminate prions. I assume the high temperatures and pressures need to destroy prions might have a negative effect on the quality of the Draculard. I seem to remember that the highest risk is in consuming brain tissue, so fat might not be that bad, but people will always worry.-- scad mientist, Jul 11 2014 The whole prion field is a bit spooky and suspect (this reconfigured protein is supposedly resistant to almost all protein-destroying agents, and is meant to have various hereditable strains).-- MaxwellBuchanan, Jul 11 2014 Damn...I just came back from a Wikipedia stroll down prion lane, and all the linked diseases that they had.
Wish I was smarter - I would like to research these things further. But the internet allows me to play at being smart on television (cultural reference, I'll see if I can locate the link).-- normzone, Jul 11 2014 Something to prion your mind.-- xenzag, Jul 11 2014 //Wish I was smarter - I would like to research these things further.//
Trust me, you don't need to be immensely smart to get ahead in the prion field.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Jul 11 2014 Perfect opportunity for a new TV series: The Prionic Man-- xenzag, Jul 11 2014 random, halfbakery
