I was sooooo dissappointed!! Its what my mom always picks up for me when I go visit That and the dill pickle peanuts (honest) You can get the dill pickle chips here now...but its just not the same

You mentioned that and I can bet my DH would LOVE that. He loves odd (no offense!) food. He makes hot pepper peanuts for work. And SUPER HOT pickled eggs. Shoot, his pickled eggs are so good (so people say. I don't like them) that people PAY him to make them some. He won't give out the recipe

Leenie, I think this too,, but when I worked in a large grocery chain, we had Crisco, and then there were small red or green boxes of lard. Back then, and now, I don't know the difference.

Then when DH had his meat business, some customers came in for free pork fat to render their own lard, or for their home made "cracklin's" (rinds)... I don't have a clue. LOL

Our Super WalMart store has lard right next to the vegetable shortenings here in OK. Of course, we still have a lot of traditional cooks and lard is needed for things like fry bread, pie crusts, etc.! I remember as a child, the lard bucket always sat next to the stove within easy reach. We raised our own pork and had the fat rendered to use as lard. I haven't bought any in years because I try to eat as lowfat now as possible and use olive oil or Enova.
