Crackling definition: the little crispy bits of meat leftover from making lard.Very good, but rich & a little goes a long way.
Can provide a good, old timey recipe for cracklin’ bread on request.😉 (Requires a cast iron frying pan-or “spider” as my grandma called it.)

I knew I shouldn’t have asked. That’s gross. Healthy fat is liquid at room temperature. (example: olive oil)

It’s actually really tasty. Just depends upon one’s preferences.
Lard gets close to liquid in a warm room.🙂
Clarified butter’s liquid I think:confused:.Maybe not.

A lager is fermented with “bottom-fermenting” yeast and ferments at a cool temperature over a long (lager) period of time as opposed to the “top-fermenting” ales, which have a much shorter fermentation at a higher temperature.

**I still prefer the ale! 😃 **
Baloney. What we eat can be a spiritual decision…many people don’t have a choice as to what they eat, they eat what they have available or don’t eat at all.

Exactly! 👍 But, personally, I do not care for baloney!

If you eat lard you get a BIG lard butt. I’ll keep my little one. No thanks to lard butt.

Amen!😉
It goes by “ponhoss” or “ponhaus” in the Southern mts. Think it was originally from the German for “pan rabbit.” Also “liver mush” is a second cousin.
Should really start a second thread on good foods but guess it’s more fun to post here to annoy the vegans.Just kidding…😉

It’s great for pie crust, too.

Being overweight must be a drag. I recommend cutting back on these fatty high calorie foods. I know it’s hard for some folk, but the rewards are a lighter step. Eat a piece of fruit instead of pie.

**Even living here in the beautiful state of Utah,I concur that even the LDS have similar morals and values as the RCC, in spite of the differences in their theologies. However, the social climate creates an aperture for melding attitudes of similarities as regards the overall paradigm of charity towards others. The reconstruction of Vatican II which encourages Catholics to take a more quantum or wholistic approach towards creation is overshadowed by the more mechanical view which the predominantly Mormon culture holds leading many of the faithful to accept the notion that animals and geological resources are given for exploitation and consumption rather than stewardship and conservation.****Indeed! One must take into consideration that business and commercial agriculture are financial institutions desiring the patronage of the consumer. Hence, marketing strategies are often geared towards convincing the public that their products are “NEEDED” or “SUPERIOR”. In order to achieve this evidence is presented, often contrived or exaggerated to convince the public to buy it. We do not “NEED” animal products. We “WANT” animal products. What was once considered a luxury 150 years ago has now been given the appearance of a “NECESSITY”. Much like cell-phones, laptops and television. ** I have deleted this section for the sake of brevity. It is well stated, however…As is stated in the 14th chapter of Romans,"17 for it is not eating and drinking that make the kingdom of God, but the saving justice, the peace and the joy brought by the Holy Spirit."
It is a fact that the vast majority of Vegan supporters do have a propensity towards neo-paganism and even pro-abortion-very frustrating for me, personally. But, having been made aware of certain atrocious conditions and practices in the food industries, I can not in good conscience allow myself to be party to it. Again, in Romans 14,“14 I am sure, and quite convinced in the Lord Jesus, that no food is unclean in itself; it is only if someone classifies any kind of food as unclean, then for him it is unclean.” Because of this, I suppose it is “unclean” for me and others with similar sensibilities.

I am not sure I would tar all Mormons with the same brush. It’s interesting that my son attended a VERY Catholic law school. Second to Catholics in number were Mormons. The school has a very heavy emphasis on Natural Law as the proper philosophical foundation for human law. Possibly the younger generation of Mormons will be influenced by that, and perhaps like to go there for that reason.

I would not be too quick to conclude that humans don’t need animal protein, particularly given the fact that many parts of the world are not suitable for much of anything else. But this has been dealt with at length in previous posts.

Nor would I be too quick to judge all “factory farming” before actually going into a number of their facilities and seeing how things really are done. Much of “factory farming” is actually a coordinated effort of corporations and individual farmers, just for starters.

Yes, that was covered in the documentary film. Food, Inc. tiny.cc/dEjOP It’s good for all consumers to know HOW their food is produced and what’s in it.
