My question is, why make the roux with margarine when you've got all that lovely bacon fat from the first step?

I have NO IDEA.

Heck, I don't even buy margarine.

I am going to make mine with the fat, or make a potato leek soup with bacon. Leeks are my favorite in a soup :)

As a Pirate in good standing with the Brotherhood, it is my considered opinion that leeks are bad for me. :)

But but! What if they are diced really small, and caramelized in bacon fat, then simmered in stock till tender, and blended with a stick blender until they are nothing more than a hidden flavor?

Oh, how I love to cook :>
