Lard is the rendered fat of a pig. At room temperature, it is pale white in color and solid. It is sold in blocks similar to butter.
WWII Rationing
In Britain during WWII, butter was in very short supply and severely rationed, so lard (which keeps well even at room temperature) started to be used in its place.
