I've seen it at Harris Teeter, Earth Fare (I think), and Bi-Lo or Food Lion, although I've never seen it refrigerated which probably means it's hydrogenated and/or full of preservatives.
I enjoy cooking and occasionally like replicating traditional recipes with traditional ingredients.
This sometimes means pie crusts with lard and NOT Crisco/shortening.
I can't believe I can not find Lard anywhere in the Charlotte area. None of the Harris Teeters carry it and Food Lion caters to a blue collar/immigrant clientele and offers it only through special order.
Does anyone know where I can get Lard? In New Jersey it was in packages next to the butter in the fridge.
I dare not even ask about Limburger cheese, or rennet tablets or a bunch of other stuff I have to order online because no local market carries them.
Seems like people with million dollar homes and six-figure kitchens do little cooking around here!
If anyone knows a source for lard please do tell??
Everyone has focused on the Lard in their responses, but I have personally purchased Limburger cheese in Earthfare. It wasn't for me, but for a friend from Germany who told me the "Stinkier the cheese, the better" I had to put it in my trunk on the ride up to deliver it.
