Wonder how long the pork lasted in the lard, seeing as even salt pork like ships used to stock for long voyages only lasted a couple months

- rwmj 7y agoIt sounds basically the same as the French technique of confit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confit).
- riku_iki 7y agoI think it is different, lard seals food from air and bacteria. I'v seen similar technique in some movie about Chinese way of preserving food.
- Isamu 7y agoConfit is actually the same, it is about sealing and preserving cooked meat with fat. I guess this was widespread. In the US it was maybe more prevalent before refrigeration. I remember it being in a documentary about colonial times.
