Reply #111: I think lard's a gateway drug

[juno jones]

Use it once for cornbread, and next you're making biscuits and pie crusts out of it because the exquisite flavor and flaky texture is the devil's own lure.

Next thing you know, you're shunning all-american hydrogenated crisco subtitutes and scouring potentially dangerous neighborhood groceries for lard since they don't sell it grocery stores anymore.

When you get to the 50 pound box, you know you're hooked.

Edit to add: throw in munchies and you're just in a world of hurt. MMMM. Biscuits and gravy....
