[Sca-cooks] lard

[Johnna Holloway]

I think it depends on the grocery store chain and space. Maybe the  
time of year. One can ask the meat dept. in some areas to order it. I  
bought my last stock in a more suburban nearer to Detroit gourmet  
grocery store. I know it took some looking for it. I didn't find it in  
Ann Arbor that time nor in the town we were living in.
