“I
feel that I will never cease
To
hold in admiration grease.
It's
grease makes frying things so crackly,
During
and after. Think how slackly
Bacon
lies before its grease
Effusively
secures release.”—Southern humorist Roy Blount Jr., “Song to Grease,” in Save Room for Pie: Food Songs and Chewy Ruminations (2013)
