I'm gay btw, not sure if that matters

Extremely gay
Bear gay. Lard gives me that sweaty, cumrag smell to keep women away. Witness my gayness.

It never comes up in recipes so I never saw a reason to use it like vegetable shortening.

Bacon cut to tiny bits, fried slowly with herbs.
Smear on real bread, top with onions (garlic if youre hardcore), pickle slices if you like. Heaven in mouth. Too bad a calorie nuke.

Google smalec. Also, faworki.

I started using lard but don't really notice much of a difference in taste compared to oil

>>11318494
But it's nice to have a reason for every day of the week

I've been cooking with lard (well, random rendered animal fat that gets mixed in a jar, really) for years. I think it gives a slightly richer flavor, and seems to help searing meat a little.

If you honestly mean that, you are retarded and should become an hero

>>11318923
Holy shit, nigger, it's smalec. Hardly any anglo-saxon knows about it.

>>11318923
Don't know if that's a kinda reverse meme now, to blame everything on the americans, even though everyone who is not american will recognize that the blamed food is in fact not american in the slightest, or if you're just retarded.

>smalec
Wut?
It's Schmalz, mein Freund, or Griebenschmalz, if you have bacon bits in it, and yes, it's very good, but I'm having a hard time cooking with it. Seems like no recipe ever calls for it, outside of old books. but it keeps forever, so why not have a tub of the stuff in your fridge.

hey retard, it's 'a' hero. sorry but there's no spellchecker here unlike reddit.

>>11318923
Spreading lard on bread is not an American thing to do.

>>11319086
I'm not the other poster (or Polish), but smalec is pronounced in Polish very similarly to how schmalz is pronounced in German. It's the same thing, derivative of the German word

It was in the past before mommy's (((learned))) animal fat was death. A character in London's story, "To Build a Fire," smeared lard on both halves of a biscuit and put some back bacon in between.

Try making smalec than, instead of schmalz, mój przyjacielu.
Recepie is simple:
Try to find some pork fat/bacon that has some layers of meat in it. If you can only find clear fat one, get some propper bacon to, like 1/3 of the fat.
Slice it to tiny bits, like, 7mm cubes. Some like bigger, like strips. Put it on minimal fire, like really, the smallest one, and stir it often with wooden spoon or the bottom ones will get burned. It will take a long while, up to an hour, you can stir it less often when some fat is already liquid. Add the sliced bacon when some of the lard is already liquified, or instead of tasty greaves you'll end up with black coal cubes.
This is also why you must take the pot of the fire before all the fat has melted - the process will still continue for a while so you must put it in a cool place, on a balcony or something.
After you turn off the heat and before you take it to dead nigger storage, add some majoram. Add it earlier and it will burn down.

Some like to add sliced onion in the end, or even apple, I preffer to add raw onions or garlic. Your choice. Have fun and don't pour it on your feet when walking with hot oil.

my only cookbook that uses lard is a mexican one
apparently it's a traditionally used cooking fat there
it's pretty good for crisping up some slow cooked meat
also it has a higher burn point than butter
