As a French, I was really confused by the conversation here, until I realized, unlike other words common to English and French, the English word for lard does not have the same meaning as the French word for lard, where it means bacon.
Here in France lard is used a lot, most replaced by butter (and olive oil in the South) in recipes.
- slau 8y agoI guess "saindoux" is the closest translation for lard. I've more often seen people cook with animal fat (goose and beef, mainly) as opposed to "saindoux". That was only for specialty recipes, though. As you've indicated, in the south where I grew up, olive oil was by far the fatty substance of choice. In ratios of 10-20 to 1, I would estimate.
