Lard withdrawn

[pinkmama]

Hi, odd question, but my mum is here and we are intrigued - does anyone know why Lard has been withdrawn from supermarkets?

[suzywong]

So do we know exactly why lard has been withdrawn? Has an official reason been issued by the Queen?

Oooooh....bread and dripping......the brown tasty yummy stuff when cooking beef spread on a slice of bread..... Pure heaven..... [salivating emoticon] anyone fancy cooking me a roast...now please!!! Oh yeah and as far as health issues go my grandparents were brought up on bread dipped in the liquor (the melted lard and bacon fat combined) and are well into their 80s and not obese!! Everything in moderation...def agree with bringing back cookery lessons.....that's how I learnt all my nutritional info and basic cooking skills. Kids at our school complained when they has to make pasta salad as it contained sweetcorn and peppers!!! FFS!!!! it looked bloody lovely too.....but then again you can't expect youngsters today to choose anything that looks remotely like the natural product!!! Ok off my soap box now!!

Hausfrau, do you know if you can get suet in Germany (atora style)?
I will need it at Christmas for making mincemeat (MY recipe, better than shops, twice as much brandy and fresh apple!!)

Am also disturbed at the thought of no lard!
