==WWII Rationing==

In Britain during WWII, [[rationing]] meant that butter was unavailable for many and lard (which keeps well even at room temperature) started to be used in its place. Lard seasoned with a little salt and pepper and spread on bread (effectively a lard [[sandwich]]) was a staple meal for many during rationing. Lard featured in many WWII propaganda posters aimed at helping wartime families subsist on the small rations available at the time.

Although lard was originally used as an oil for the frying of other foods, over the years many recipes have been created using lard as an ingredient. Traditional British delicacies made from lard include lard soup, dripping and beetroot sandwiches, [[Lancashire]] lardy cakes and "lardy bombers", pastry cases filled with seasoned lard and deep fried.
