Possibly a poor translation somewhere along the line. Fried fat would - after all- just be liquid fat?! Then again they're a hardy lot in Yorkshire. I'll check it with Dana when she's back, in the meantime I'll see if I can work it out.

ETA You are quite right. A quick check of the All Creatures Great and Small listings show that in Pups, Pigs and Pickles Tristan is in fact offered a breakfast that consists of mostly bacon fat. This is not usual I can assure you. I don't remember the episode, but I assume Tristan was pretty put out by it!

Aqua Vita, now.... That's a proper English breakfast.
