Here in America. We no longer see LARD in the stores anymore
Everything is shortening,oils or butter.
Growing up my Mom used northing but Lard to fry with. Lard used to fry chrusciki, pounczki. is the best. In America's south thats all that they use to fry chicken, and make pie crust,and biscuits.

SO why dont people use lard anymore?

Look in a Meijer store around the meat department. They still have lard in two different size containers. Still as good as ever.
