> to create lard. Which is is also delicous for fries.

I'm afraid to ask but regardless: you use the lard as a replacement for oil when frying/cooking fries, or as like a condiment/sauce/something?

People have fried things in lard for millennia. You can certainly use it in some condiments like Schmalz, mayo, etc but it’s mostly used for cooking.

Yeah I bet, but with Americans you never know, I've seen people pour melted processed butter across popcorn, so when it comes to what Americans eat, I've learned to always ask rather than assume.

Wait, there are people who don’t put butter on popcorn? You don’t know what you’re missing.
