I know we have discussed this before, but I have to share something with those of you, like me, who love 'traditional' lard.
As we have discussed before, lard these days is a mixture of all kinds of ****, and not worth buying. Today I was doing my grocery shopping along with a myriad of other things, and as usual was in Sainsbury's. I needed butter, so picked up a block, and noticed the lard. I had a nosy to see what ingredients were in it, and got a real surprise. Sainsbury's own brand lard 250g for 49p is.... pig fat and - nothing else! I didn't believe what I was reading, so found an assistant and showed her the pack. I asked if there were any hidden ingredients, while reeling off the law on food labeling, she confirmed it was right (the law and the packaging). I am now the proud owner of LARD again!
Dinner, organic ribeye steak, organic eggs, organic mushrooms, tomberries all fried in LARD! Woo-hoo!
