Confit is something that takes a long time, but very little of it is active.
I made a sort of rillette long ago for another challenge. It used bacon and bacon grease/fat. They aren't hard to make.

I don’t do competitions

I know you have always been reluctant, but I would not really call this a competition. It's not like the judge is going to make and eat everything everyone submits! I'd say it truly is just an ingredient challenge, but it's a clever way to keep it fresh by having a different judge and a different ingredient on a regular basis. That's my take on it anyway.I don’t do competitions

I hadn’t thought about it, but I am allowing these as well.

I had already assumed that they were included since both are fats...I've got some shortening in my pantry but of course I have olive oil, sesame seed oil, grapeseed oil, peanut oil, vegetable oil, bacon fat, butter, margarine, and a few others I am sure.

That's the way i take it too. There's no prize, other than getting to pick the next ingredient. I haven't been making near as many entries as I used to, but the challenge gets me to try new recipes, sometimes even trying an ingredient or technique I've never used before.

Eggzactly! I think it also gives us insight into each other's creative process, which can be very interesting as well.
Even though I participate in most challenges, I completely understand where you’re coming from.I don’t do competitions
When I first joined the forum, I hadn’t planned on entering a challenge, as I do not like any sort of competition at all, and I especially don’t like the idea of people competing around cooking and food, which I feel is something we do for those we love, out of love, and the idea of picking winners and losers for something like that didn’t sit very well with me.
I was encouraged backchannel, so I did, and I’ve continued to do so, but it’s definitely something I somewhat struggle with. I can sincerely say that I enjoy commenting during a challenge, I like submitting entries, but I don’t like winning, because I don’t like judging.
That was a long-winded way of saying that I get where you’re coming from, SandwichShortOfAPicnic!
