Will you use duck fat or bear fat or no fat?
Will you crimp or score or pinch or flout?

Flipping through Michel Bras Dessert Notebook I notice he uses Duck fat for some recipes dont know which ones they were tho
What about Horse Fat? a Restaurant here in Vancouver was deep frying their french fries in horse fat for a bit.
