That sort of misapplication of distinction never fails to amuse me. Try looking up some, urh, *ahem* intimate hygiene products, and see if you'd like to buy some "slightly used" merchandise. But I guess if a tub of lard is still edible after 64 years, anything goes.

I believe the fat is "seut", and is from around the kidneys.

Ah, yes, suet. Not a word you hear much in conversation. And good for seasoning cast iron cookware, too, IIRC.

Not being a baker, I had no idea that lard and tallow were different things. I always thought tallow was the raw, unprocessed fat straight from the animal. Apparently not.

Here's what Wikipedia has to say FWIW:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lard

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tallow

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suet

I'm not sure where "tactical bacon" (can't stop laughing!) fits on this scale. But I want a couple of cans as conversation pieces, or gifts, or perhaps Christmas tree ornaments.

Isn't tactical bacon the result of pork barrel spending on the part of DOD?

I wonder how long fruit cake will last.

Apparently 64 years if you make it with lard wink
