Did it ever leave? I had a chef friend who always said "fat is flavor".

Pretty funny that the cook thinks that lard is flavor. Fat holds and carries flavor. Fat on a steak has flavor but lard??? 
It does make a fantastic pie crust tho!

but it's whipped up so smooth and fluffy. Same with the twinkie and hostess cupcake fillings too I believe Hey-wait a minute... Oreos aren't Kosher? who knew? I'll bet lard in Oreos is like coca leave in cola... used to
be... better

Actually, Nabisco stopped using lard in Oreos several years back. Just think about it. Dipping lard into your milk. Yum.

The real ket to a great tasting Baja Lobster. Use the same lard over and over again to fry Lobsters, this concentrates the flavor, and makes it as
good as we all know.
Do it with new lard, not so good.

Depends on Who You Believe
Dr. Atkins - scientific studies with controlled tests = lard is good.
Yapping diet "experts" on network talk shows = lard (and all fat) is bad to scare the viewer who won't read or research diet for their own
information.
BTW (By The Way), it is the trans fats (chemically modified fat added to processed foods) that will kill you.

I've been preparing fish tacos for about 20 years. This past weekend I catered a wedding where I fried the fish in lard.
Absolutely the best tasting ever!
Lard also is much easier to work with in controling the cooking process.

No question that any food item cooked in lard will taste better than oil. but as the article linked by Dennis, as well as the one I started this with
point out, we've spent decades running from lard. I really think much of it is hype created by the manufacturers of the various substitutes. Face,
there's not a whole lot of profit in lard.

ok....now i am thinkin'......a dangerous thing in its own right, but...
i have this turkey fryer. so far i found peanut oil to be prohibitively expensive cause it takes so much to do a turkey. it's like $29 a gallon.
so - i think i ought to fry a bird in lard which is cheap!! anyone used lard in a turkey fryer rig? mine is propane with a big tall SS pot.

Arn't those beautiful authentic almost transparent flour tortillas cooked with lard? You know the kind that are very hard to find in the US.
Don't even mention how good fatback is.
