OOPS!  I got carried about what I said about lard (ie. wrong).  I looked
in "Joy of Cooking" and found out the following:

		Lard is rendered pork fat, nothing else.

I might add that rendering fat is just a process of boiling to get rid of
non-fat things like ligments, blood vessels, etc. followed by cooling the
water/fat mess.  The fat can be removed once cool.

I'm certainly not going to vouch for the preservatives that are usually put
into boughten lard...
