Read your Websters.  Mine says lard is pig fat.  Tallow is bovine or
other generalized fat.  Lard does not come from cows.  Pigs are used
to make lard.

(It pains me greatly to do this, as I hate people who incessently call
for references; but here I am doing it.  Sigh.  Life is cruel
sometimes...)

If you claim lard means anything other than purified pig fat, please
state your reference.  Mine is Websters.

Thanks for bearing with me on this tedious point.
