my mother cooked everything in schmaltz and I mean everything...yes, matzo balls and chopped liver..but she fried chicken, fish and hamburgers in schmaltz, too...growing up I had this gnawing pain right below my breastbone...I thought it was normal...when I left home and went to college the dorm offered broiled chicken, flame broiled fish and hamburgers and within weeks the pain was gone and it scared the hell out of me.. so I went to health center and explained to the nurse I was dying because the gnawing pain had disappeared...I think I may made her day
