    Just by the by:

    I went out yesterday to buy some lard from Tesco (having read this thread & the variety of MSE forum's other threads on the subject!), but found a Morrison's first. I thought 'Why not, they might have it as much as anybody...'. And was delighted to find a whole range!! of solid cooking fats on sale.

    I have posted some images of Morrison's stock online, at URL :

    http://s1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff424/In-The-Frame/My_lord_its_lard/

    In case it helps, I photo'd the prices (!) as well as the items.
    . . . And yes, after a while of photographing, the Morrison's manager did look at me a bit suspiciously, but - hey - we've got to get the info out there in the 'public domain' :money:somehow, right?!?! :D (Anyway it looks like Morrison's have done us proud, with this range of products, so they have nothing to complain about! ;))

    There was a whole shelf full of a range of all the different types of solid fats - lard, dripping, vege-fats, & blends, etc. Great stuff. :T

    Your efforts are appreciated, APennySaved. :beer: At least now I know that should I ever decide to use anything other than butter for pastry, Cookeen is suitable, as it's vegetable fat.

    I'll be honest, I'd never even looked at it, I just assumed it was all rendered animal fat (as opposed to being made from milk, which I can eat without ill-effect).

    Ticklemouse I always make my own mince pies - right down to making the mincemeat to go in them myself, too!:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Just to say:

    Glad I could help! :)

    (It's nice for a change for me to give some advice at this great forum, rather than just take some!)
