    Hello, looking to buy Beef Dripping for Deep Fryer.

    I have called a few butchers and they are extraordinarily expensive at €6-7 per Kilo (if you have a VAT number you can buy 10 Kilos for about €17-20 including VAT off a Cash and Carry or Frylite). Does anyone know of somwhere selling it at a more reasonable price. I need about 6 Kilos for my fryer anyway so I would be happy to buy in a fair amount of bulk.

    Cheers.

    I saw beef dripping in FX Buckley on Henry Street, there was only around 300grams of it though, and am not sure it would necessarily be cheaper than the price you've been quoted...But maybe worth giving them a shout

    The butchers in blackrock shopping centre (in dublin with the mcdonalds and M&S in it) had it. I can't recall the price but it stuck me as expensive at the time. it was in glass jars which will always up the price.

    Lard is 59cent for 250g in tesco, its 59c for 250g, 2.36/kg. If thats of any use.

    Yeah it was FX Buckley I got the big quote from, and a few other butchers were the same. Thanks anyway though.

    Yeah all the butchers seem to be charging big bucks for beef lard.

    Tesco's lard is pork. I wouldn't be too opposed to using it, but the flavour is slightly different in chips...still great though.

    My local Tesco in Rathmines never has it though. Which Tesco have you seen it in lately?

    Frylite do it very cheap, but will only supply to businesses. I was thinking of asking my local chipper, but realised quite quickly how cheeky it would be, given that it would mean I wouldn't be planning to buy their chips anymore.
