lard!

Hi! Do you have any recipes that you really prefer to make with lard? Would you share them with me? Right now I plan to make fried eggs and maybe a pie crust, but then what?

More thoughts:

1) New England Corn Chowda.
Proper NECC requires salt pork. Not lard. Not bacon grease. Salt pork. For my money Julia Child's recipe is the best. I can post when I get home if you want, although I'm sure you'd want it in the summer. My prediction is it'd be wrong but tasty made with duck fat.

2) Have you checked out Cajun cuisine? Not creole, that's too refined, but good old fashioned "whatever wandered into the trap" Cajun?

3) Brunswick Stew? Another hallowed "whatever wandered into the trap" meal.

4) Anything with cornmeal. Spoonbread. Crackling corn bread. Fried cornmeal mush/polenta. You might even be able to rescue corn dogs and hush puppies.

Oh, yes, all of this! How did I not even think of corn bread?
