They had quarts of Tallow and Lard for $20.00 a quart! You can buy Lard anywhere for 3.00. Or get the freshly rendered stuff in a tub at the Mexican Grocery!
Well they are banking on that fact that people don't know that
Crazy! Fats are starting to come back into fashion. I actually don't mind lard. I think it has it's place in certain things. Not as a daily cooking fat, but it tastes great in certain foods and makes good pastry. (not that I would know, I can't bake to save my life) But for years lard was some kind of dirty 4 letter word. Now it's coming back into style. People realizing it doesn't have to be untouchable, it has it's place. So much so, that apparently it's a gourmet treat.
