Back in the old days (like a few decades ago :) Jews who kept Kosher
would often used chicken fat at the table when they couldnt use
butter. The fat was gently rendered, often with a little minced
onion, then strained and cooled.
I made some once for a meaty meal with bread, as an experiment, and
it was pretty good... better with a little salt added.
