Maybe Uncle Joe would be kind enough to enlighten us?
Jim matey, yes I know about lard. Before all these 'poncey' oils I and my Mother before me used lard to cook with - a piece of lard in the oven dish to cook roast joints and roast potatoes in was very common. I sometimes still use beef dripping to cook with too.

Re: What do you remember???

Thanks Joe, I remember the lard alright and the dripping, but did they all come from a cow?, as a townie I know little of these things, can you for example, get lard from a pig or a deer, maybe even a zebra. It's supposed to be deadly for bringing on heart attacks, but 'Burdocks' the oldest and most famous chipper in Dublin still fry their fish and chips in lard, as far as I know.

Lard is pig fat, Jem and it's a saturated fat which is bad for you.

Years ago we used half butter and half fat to make perfect shortcrust pastry which just crumbled in your
mouth. It's not quite the same these days

Re: What do you remember???

When I was young and living at home, when we were on holiday my Dad would send me into the chip shop to see if it was useing dripping, oil had just started being used, and if it wasnt we went to the next one , and so on till we got the dripping one, then we bought the chips. we didnt like the oil.

Yes, salt Mags (bad for you too) on top. Used to come in from playing for that then shoot straight out again.
