[Food] Where to buy old fashioned lard, in the Brighton conurbation?

Plenty of lard arses on here I'm sure so....

My vet has recommended lard for my cat to eat to help her skin/fur mowing issues.

Not the highly processed and bleached shite in the supermarket.

Popped down to a couple of butchers in London Rd and the Open Market and then in North Laine area but no luck.

Can you buy old fashioned lard anymore or do I need to buy and slaughter a pig myself?

Don't know but if your vet is recommending lard to cats, I'll have a prescription for whatever they are on.

Canhams on Church Road, Hove would be a good bet. I'd ring them first though

The shop next door to the Cat Heart Bypass Clinic I imagine.

I member fried breakfasts cooked in lard as a kid, delicious.

Buy some cheap pork belly and render your own

with the added bonus of some tasty pork belly for snacks.

Crispy streaky bacon and fat for the cat.

Just buy a free range chicken. Roast it in a large pyrex. Pour off the juices and let them set in a bowl in the fridge. The white fat at the top is better than lard, and the jelly underneath is good in soups (for yourself).

I got a cub scout badge by going round Arkela's house and frying her an egg in her pan of lard.

And none of that, absolutely none, is a euphemism.

If you can hang on a couple of days I’d suggest you pay a visit to the Amex West Upper concourse on Sunday. You will find copious amounts of lard up there. :drink:

I have, and wear this T shirt, when attempting to run sometimes

I probably sweat a cat portion out after 5k

My local butcher sells me a ‘wodge’ of beef dripping. Makes for lovely roast potatoes.

For my cookery badge I had to boil an egg and make a pot of tea.
Where's the consistency?
Honestly I think they just made it up as they went along.

Not many butchers will have the equipment or bother to render down pork fat, but all you need is a pan.
Just ask for the fat, if you're on speaking terms with a butcher they'll just keep a tub to one side and fill it up for you as they trim and prepare other orders.

You'd probably find avant-lard there.

Thanks yes I think I'll need to buy my own fat then. Might try the fat from overnight slow cooking an unseasoned chicken in the Crockpot, as suggested by HWT.

You're planning to mow your cat's fur?!
If you're doing this just because you want stripes, wouldn't it be less cruel just to get a stripey cat?
