Armour Company Shortening Bucket
Lard is in. Not that it’s ever been out – lard has been around forever and it never really went away. But for the past few decades, it’s been mostly used in ethnic or regional cuisines.
People have been saying that “lard is the new bacon” for several years now. While it may be true that recent craze for bacon in everything from vodka to chocolate is beginning to subside, bacon ain’t going away any time soon. Furthermore, there is nothing new about lard. In Europe, lard has been used for thousands of years and has a deep tradition in the many rustic regional cuisines. In any culture where pigs were raised, the fat of the animal was usually considered just as important as the meat.
The donor of this shortening bucket may be unknown, but we are sure its contents made many a yummy meal.
