When I make french fries at home, I grind a beef bullion and add it to a shaker of salt. After frying my fries in peanut oil, I shake my mix over the hot fries. It saves me from having to look all over for beef tallow.
Homemade cornbread with lard spread on it and a shake of salt..yummy!
You can make some very nice bars of soap if you have access to cheap or free lard.
Hogfat and ashes soap is wonderful!
Granny Clampett was right :-)
