I'm even going to ask for packages of BEEF LARD!!!!

I have a small container of Lard in my food closet. I don't use it very often. I use it mainly when a recipe calls for Shortening and I don't want a Buttery taste. Lard, just like most meats...is about 60% Unsaturated and 40% Saturated. The stuff is much better for you than Shortening [with its Trans-Fats] any day.

I think I'll keep a batch of the lard in the fridge and fry my EGGS in it. MMmmm....

Lard has less Saturated Fat than Butter, and only marginally more total fat...so under the Low-Fat dogma, it should be the better choice when compared to the more traditional Butter. That said, I use Butter. |
