Whenever you add bacon to anything it adds lots of BACON flavor, which is
fine if you really want everything you eat to taste like bacon. I don't.

I use rendered fats quite a lot, because by the end of a cooking season I
have pounds of duck fat, chicken fat, goose fat and even pancetta fat. I
use my brain when deciding which to use, or whether to stick with oil,
butter or lard.
