Well Soli, mu Mum always used to keep beef dripping in the fridge and I recall that my school gardener used to actually have beef dripping sandwiches, of which the school cook would save the dripping for him, make a sarnie and take it out to him on his break with a cup of char!
I think that the "lard culture" in the UK came much after the war, when there was quite literally less food about, the UK did seem to have a far less wasteful approach to food than they do now, we throw away so much produce now that is a disgrace!
Well, I will say that we are all up bright and early here on our lardy meal and I feel oddly enough less weighed down than I normally feel on my largely olive oil diet!
"IT`S LARD WE WANT!"
Bring it on!

In the good ole days I'm reliably told they had lard sandwiches!
Even in Ukraine they still put salted pig fat onto rye bread and eat it with slugs of homemade spirits!!
Personally I find Russian/Moldovan/Ukraine meat dishes do taste better with heated up pig fat rather than using a lard paste..pretty much a similar thing,but more natural a product.

Lol! I do have to say it worked superbly! Save the goose fat for potatoes, stick the lard in with the pork.
I am never using olive oil with pork again, good ole` lard makes it so gentle a meat!
