I can understand why bird aren't keen on lard it's bland and tasteless
compared to a nice bit of roast meat dripping.

Do birds have taste buds?




They wouldn't be so fussy if they didn't!
I read somewhere that some can tell margarine from butter.

That has to be Storks


Oh, very good! :~))


And dripping doesn't come from any joint of meat, only beef, and to get
the 2 kilo a week that we can go through we would have to be running a
café or something.


Well, I've used ordinary lard when I couldn't get dripping, and it is
taken. Perhaps in desperately cold conditions, they're glad of
anything. I'll have to try both this winter and see what happens.
Certainly my lard-based pastry goes in the twinkling of an eye. Always
very welcome .. indoors and out!
