- 2 tablespoons melted fat or butter
- 1/2 cup unflavoured whey protein powder
- 1 teaspoon salt

Heat beef fat in a pan or muffin tins in preheated oven.

The quote that Taffiny mentioned during the show - “Hunger is the best sauce” - is actually a very old proverb with no known specific provenance. This article talks about the proverb in some detail.
This week’s end quote is from Virginia Woolf -
One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.
