Sounds like a butt load of carbs. I'm in.

Doesn't sound healthy. No thanks!

[PACOX]

I didn't even know lard was still legal.

[Jayburner]

lots of salt and ketchup and vinegar. I think that covers the food pyramid.

Yeah sure I've always been a fan of Jello Biafra's Voice.

As fats go, lard is actually one of the healthier and better ones to cook with. You generally won't find it in most grocery stores, as it carries a stigma still from the days where we thought all fat = cholesterol and all cholesterol = horrible for you. You should still be able to get it from specialty meat shops.

I have a butcher that saves me pig fat, which I routinely then render down in a slow cooker/crock pot and save to jars. Lard is AMAZING to bake with.

zero carbs in lard. so its basically a health food

[Revi]

Not sure why I'd eat pure fat. I could use that calorie allowance on pizza instead.

Lard is much better than many alternatives, I would rather fry in lard (pig fat) than those other oils that seem to have a shelf life of several years.

I like to roast potatoes in lard, that's all I've used it for.

I'm not opposed to fat, I'd just much rather eat a lot of something that tastes great as opposed to eating the same amount of calories condensed into a block of pure fat.

If you can eat a block of lard without puking then you have an iron gut.

Almost tempted now, just for the challenge...

Considering we cooked everything in lard up until about the 90s, yes. EVERYTHING tasted better back then.
