From Cunnan
Jump to navigationJump to search
The rendered fat of (usually) a pig. It is white and solid, or semi-solid. It has many uses, mostly in cooking (can be used as shortening, to fry food, in gravy etc)
One documentary on the creation of Stone Henge suggests that lard may have been used to lubricate tracks upon which the large boulders could have been pulled up the hill upon which they stand.
