Oh? I don't think I've ever had reason to buy it, but I've often seen it among the various cooking oils and Crisco and such. I'd assumed that it was a common item available in most grocery stores.

Is this not true where the rest of you live? Perhaps it is more common here because of our high numbers of Hispanics and Mexican cooking.
