That is what my grandmother used.....so I do too. Pure lard.
It only makes sense. These high tech, chemically processed oils and "lard" like substances are modern chemistry at it's worst anyway! What was good for granny is good enough for me!
I don't cook with any vegetable oils, shortenings, margarine's, et al... Only lard, duck fat, butter, olive oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, etc...
When a chemical company, Monsanto, is one of the largest food "
like" producers, we have a problem!
