Scottish fish & chips are reasonably likely to be fried in beef dripping, and I reckon it's rather less common in England. Otherwise it's usually a high-temperature vegetable fat.

Google AI result from when I googled "Jane Austen Mary Shelley", hoping to find whether they'd ever met: Jane Austen and Mary Shelley were both famous female novelists in the early 19th century. They shared a mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, who wrote The Vindication of the Rights of Women. Connections between Jane Austen and Mary Shelley • Shared mother: Austen and Shelley were both daughters of Mary Wollstonecraft. • Possible influence: Austen may have been influenced by Wollstonecraft's work, but she didn't use quotation marks to avoid identifying with Wollstonecraft. • Works that combine the two
Hmm...
