No lard supply problems in NI as far as I'm aware. Wonder why?0

not sure arkonite. none last night in sainsburys though.0

Never mind Lard - what about the sad loss of Mark and Lard from Radio One - I really think there is a sinister agenda surrounded by the lack of Lard and taking Mark & Lard off Radio One was just the start!
I am a veggie so dont eat it myself - but I do buy it to feed the blue tits and starlings - if I dont get time to make a seed cake for them with it I get stale bread and make lard sandwhiches and cut them up into small cubes and pop them out on the bird table - both the blue tits and starlings seem to enjoy it. Why bother with the Starlings I hear you ask - well they are on the decline, so don't forget them when you pop out the bird food."You may say I am a dreamer - but I'm Not the only one!" Amber;-)0 -

Just been in ASDA this morning and they have Lard!!
We go to the Chatham Asda so dont know if it is a region specific shortage.0 -
sainsburys had tons of it yesterday. ;D0

Had to send Mr TM on a mission to get some yesterday. There was none in Asda on Friday - just a gap. However, Mr TM came up trumps with a block of Tesco value stuff from the Blackburn Tesco Express.
Just been making my pastry for the mince pies. I was laughing to myself that I spend all year grilling my bacon and sausages then throwing the fat away (in bin) then I buy it for the pastry. ???
However, I have just calculated that my mince pies will contain about 6g of fat whereas the Tesco deepfill ones I usually buy have 11g fat per pie!! And I've just read the above link and it says lard has fewer calories than butter
So, my money saving tip to myself as well as weight saving tip, is to make all my own mince pies. I know this is old hat to most of you, but hey, we MSEers have to start somewhere. ;D
OK folks, fresh mince pies and gingerbread biscuits will be served this afternoon. Bring some cream will ya? ;D ;D0
