LITERARY ITEM OF THE MILLENNIUM
Key quote: ...you can enjoy instructions on how to make a vase of roses out of strips of fat, or produce the reverse (?!) portrait of Santa Claus in slabs of fat, or marvel at the photos of Mr. Fleiss' "first prize" (?) 200-pound fat sculpture of a cathedral done entirely in slips and chunks and strips of fat.

I have worshipped at the altar of bacon many times.
(And, yes, it shows.)

I wonder if anyone's ever made a lard sculpture of Hillary Clinton.

Mmmmm, bacon.

... Or if high school kids in British Columbia make lard Les Paul guitars for the British Columbia Teachers' Federation's annual lard-sculpture competition.
Canada: Just a little bit odd.

Ass a bacon lover, I would consider this to be art.

When I was in Germany several years back, I had lard on toast for breakfast. I also had several small heart attacks shortly there after.

I have one of the "Two Fat LAdies" cookbooks, and most recipes start out with lard or streaky bacon.
Yum.
