Chop suey today, but there is one of them chicken pies in waiting for this week. We didn't make it but it's hard to beat the brand we buy, no unwanted additives in it at all. Lard crust to.  Not a great big deep one like yours, but enough for a meal with no evidence left behind. We get their beef ones to. ffsmiley

Do I have some wires crossed in my 62 year young brain? Now I am well aware that ANY thread is liable to turn to food at any given moment, but this was already a food topic!!

We don't buy big whole turkeys anymore. We buy breasts of turkey by the same people that make the good pies and often save left overs for a pot of soup. I don't want to eat turkey for 2 weeks.  ffcheesy ffcheesy ffcheesy A big 20 lb turkey up here will cost you $80 and you can't eat a lot of it because it is carcass.

The first time we got pigs I was 10 and when they were butchered I helped my Mum render the fat into lard by cutting the fat of from the rind and chopping it into cubes while she cooked it down. It was a golden colour in the pot and turned the pure white when cooled. She laughed when I told her it looked just like the store bought lard we had in the fridge.

We still render lard and beef tallow and save and use chicken fat in the fridge. A couple months ago I cleaned the canola oil out of out deep fryer and for the first time poured in beef tallow and have been happy with the results.

Fries and fish 50 years ago where cooked in animal fat, we've came full circle. Actually, we've always cooked fish in butter around here. I make bread with butter and lard these days. ffcheesy  The key to good bread is the needing part.  ffsmiley

I made pulled pork this past Sunday out of a piece of the pig I bought about 2 years ago. The cut was not typical for pulled pork but I'm not sure what cut it was, I'm just trying to get through this pig. Anyway it had an inch thick slab of fat on one side that I sliced off and tossed in a pan to render. I didn't know what I was doing until it was too late to see that I should have chopped the fat up a bit, but I ran it on the stove as low as I could go, for quite a while, then filtered it through a paper towel into an old olive jar. I haven't used any yet but it looks nice. I really like idea of shaking some fries or whatever in a bit of it! I may try letting some tater tots soak in it for a bit. 

My daughter makes some really tasty cookies, I wonder if the lard would be good in them, though she will not eat pig...

That's what I'm thinking too, currently she browns butter and uses that. I'll have to ask her if she'll try it. She's had an affinity for pigs since she was little so she doesn't like to eat them. She did just try a piece of bacon a while back, but didn't eat the whole piece.

If that fails, butter will work just as well.
