in Old style MoneySaving
I've been given a block of "Crisp n dry" - what can I do with it?

Is it the same as lard and therefore be used in bread making or not?

We don't deep fry things here, infact we hardly fry anything as I prefer to grill stuff. Any ideas please?

Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    I think it's meant to be used like lard but is a vegetable product. I imagine it'd be good in pastry and general baking. Not sure about bread but it's worth a go!
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    i think it does say on the packet what you can use it for.

    My first thought like GR is to go for making pastry with it
