Idk, maybe things are different in different parts of the country, but the only thing I know bacon fat is really used for is cookin things in.
IDK about now but back in the day old dutch people like my grand parents used to save th bacon grease and spread it on toast instead of butter bc it tasted good and butter was expensive. I've tried it before and it does taste good but I couldn't and could never get over the idea that it was bacon fat.
