Frying food in the byproduct oils of other foods

Tonight, in a last-ditch effort to clear the fridge before going out of town, I lit the stove and placed in a pan a number of pre-sliced pepperonis. These I let cook until sizzling and oozing their internal juices; I left slice and juice in the pan and topped with two eggs, frying to taste with a dash of salt and pepper. IT WAS DELICIOUS.

I know this is a pretty common tactic with bacon - what else can you do this with? And what can be fried well in it?

Duck fat is really good for this.

Roast potatoes in goose fat is the obvious one.

I made a beer-can duck this summer and made refried beans in some of the rendered duck fat. It was pretty marvelous.

pakistani chip shops are famous in glasgow for having the best chips; they're fried in the same oil that fries the pakora
