The Food Lab: Animal Fat Mayonnaise
Great post. The other thing you didn't really mention was the temperature of the oil/fat. I can recall in a culinary class when the chef liked to do various things to trip us up to teach us. One time he used warm oil--I don't know, maybe 125-150F. It would break the emulsion every time.
I wonder if the rendered fat was too hot and that's what prevented the emulsion?

I'd wager that, although you haven't fully realized it, you're simply cooking dishes you're not finding genuinely interesting.
