butter can be used though for lighter roux's for like etoufee and such
as far a bacon grease ....might be a little much....maybe a dab of it for flavor or something...if you made a whole batch of roux with it ....it would coagulate to much on top
btw im not geigh ......i used to own a restaurant...
we always start with bacon grease and flour. . .according to the recipe that my buddy brought back from louisiana when he attended grad school there. . .
that said. . .when ever i make a roux for anything else (e.g., my famous twice-baked potatoes) i start with butter (real butter) and flour and then i add milk (whole). . .
btw. . .i know my way around the kitchen (i do most of the cooking in our house) and i'm not gay either. . .i just enjoy cooking. . .it's fun. . .
