SC - A question about larding

[maddie teller-kook]

A larding needle is a hollow tube. It allows you to add fat to the interior of a
roast to keep it moist and juicy.  This was done since most meat (except pork) had
little interior fat or marbling like it does now.   You can get larding needles
from the catalogue for 'Sur la Table'. They have 2 sizes.  They are not as readily
available as before due to the changes in our diet to use less fat.
