Can I find this anywhere for about the same price of butter? Any farmers market stand? Good pork stores? Tue Mar 25 06:56:50 -0700 2008 12037 Ida Red 1 3525612 Try Stinky's on Smith Street. I know the offer lard covered lamb chops and are pork connoisseurs.

I got some in manhattan up in Spanish Harlem a couple of years ago, but I'm sure the same is true in Sunset Park. You really can't make beans without it. Tue Mar 25 10:18:53 -0700 2008 3525129 14187 jmj 2 3526809 I know, but all I ever see in any bodega is the hydrogenated kind. Tue Mar 25 13:42:45 -0700 2008 3525933 12037 Ida Red 1 3525951 Flying Pigs Farm @ the Greenmarket at Grand Army Plaza or Union Square on Saturday...great stuff. http://www.flyingpigsfarm.com/ Tue Mar 25 10:23:48 -0700 2008 3525129 106241 savoryhash 2 3527823 mmmmm.....that's some very very tasty stuff. so far superior to the bodega type that it's hard to believe it comes from the same animal!

For now, I guess it's flying pigs. Either way, it's more expensive than cheap butter but less expensive than very good butter. And it makes a great pie crust, esp when mixed with butter. Tue Mar 25 19:33:25 -0700 2008 3525129 12221 missmasala 1 3532599 I finally found some at Emily's Pork Store on Graham Ave. (between Withers and Frost): $2.50 for one pint (14 oz.). It's not the highest quality, since it's made from the shoulder, not the loin/kidneys, but it's all natural. I'm now curious how it compares to the ever-so-popular Flying Pigs stuff. Amazing how many pork stores I called and didn't know what I was talking about. Thu Mar 27 07:49:25 -0700 2008 3525129 12037 Ida Red
