No time for mail order! I want some leaf lard (or just regular good lard from a butcher) and I want it now. Where can I get it?

I left a message with Flying Pigs asking if I can buy some on Saturday at the greenmarket but thus far I have not heard back.

Essex St. market? Just a guess.

Just heard back from Flying Pigs-- they're setting aside 8 ounces for me. What nice people.

Flying Pigs has had it the last month or so, so I'd guess they'd have it on Saturday.

I saw snow-white leaf lard at FP a few weeks ago. Of course this was before I threw my hat in the ring for your pie party. You do know that you have to render it first, a rather smelly process...

FP sometimes has tubs of the rendered stuff.

Faicco's usually has it.

Why do I love Mouthfuls? Ask about leaf lard and within 15 minutes you'll have 10 responses.

The good people at FP told me on the phone that it's already rendered. And they asked me how many I needed, pingarina, so I think they'll have tubs other than mine if you show up looking for some. They're at Union Square and Brooklyn GAP on Saturday.

Thanks for all the responses.

Cool. Thanks Seth.

For future reference, it's also always available at Esposito's Pork Store on 9th Ave (around 39th street)

Stupid question. How do you know if you have to render your lard? I assumed that you only had to render it if you got pork fat scraps.
