The sausage looked delicious when opened, and it arrived still frozen and in good condition.

Each piece of lard looks beautiful, unlike the ones sold in supermarkets which look nice on the outside but have random bits and pieces inside. They're excellent, and there's no bad smell.

I cut it in half and rendered it into a jar... such white lard!

It had no fishy smell. I took it back, cut it into small pieces, mashed it into a paste, and mixed it with ground beef to make meat patties.
XinXin
I didn't manage to cook anything yesterday, so I'm a little embarrassed to post it. I rendered pork fat into cracklings. Using the most fancy Spanish pork fat to stir-fry the most rustic black bean and chili-fried pork cracklings... a rice-killing wonder!

This is my first time buying pig skin to make aspic. I can say that the pig skin has been cleaned very well. Most of it is free of grease, and there are only a few places with a little bit of hair. It's much better than I expected.
