Lard has its uses. I keep some rendered down and sterile in a jar, there are some things its better for than other fats.
Most of the block lard for sale is terrible though, these days you have to render down pig fat yourself to get good quality. Theres a chap raising us a piggy, so we've got that pleasure to come some time in November
And here's my reworking of the old classic of garlic lard - garlic dripping. It's delicious to dip fried bread into as an accompniment to deep fried pizza.
i can only assume i've got it left over from when I once must have attempted to make pastry. Can't think of any other reason I've got any. it only costs about 7 pence anyway for a breezeblock sized amount.
They spread the lard out flat, smear garlic and herbs on it and then roll it up. Sort of like a Swiss Roll, except with lard, dill and garlic instead of sweet chocolate dough, cream and jam.
