Any Home Bakers Here?

I have a question for you home bakers when you slow cook a brisquit is it ever really necessary to add pig lard? They do that down here on the southern border and it gives me the willies and they even call it BBQ (barbacoa). But once it is in the fridge it turns into a lump of fat. It is completely unseasoned meat to which you are expected to add salsa to. It is hard to call this stuff BBQ.

Last plate I bought was garnished with lime(big fan), onion(big fan) and cilantro(not a fan tastes like soap) and of course served with tortillas.

Follow on note apparently my dogs enjoy cilantro as I put the container down for them and everything but the salsa verde got eaten, maybe I am a food snob. Limes, onions, and cilantro are all gone now. Oh, I forgot to mention the extra tortillas dissappeared last night when I went to bed and left them out. 100% certain a dog was involved in that! The food thief is my Chocolate lab I doubt there is a surface in this house she can't get to. I could probably nail tortillas to the ceiling and not find them there in the morning.

Hi Allen:frow

I've never added lard for slow cooking a brisket (we smoke ours if that makes a difference).

Your dog has good taste (I love cilantro, lime and onions) with pork. That's real common in south FL...kind of a Cuban thing.

I love your sense of humor! :lol:
I’ve never added lard. I see the point, but I still wouldn’t do it.
