lard tastes like a baseball gloves smells but somehow worse
i like to cook in it but smearing it on cold like butter seems nasty

In the US my staple dinner is pork chops, sauerkraut, and a baked potato. When I’m feeling fancy I’ll fry the pork chops and make gurkensalat. Easy to make a big bowl and eat it all week.

Lard is best on bread, lightly salted. Nothing else.

When I'm trying to save money I try to get creative to not waste anything. Nothing more expensive than food you toss in the trash.

Wife wanted to make pasta, but we needed a bunch of ingredients to make exactly what she wanted, and we had some unused ingredients. I used the leftover 3 strips of bacon we had, half an onion, canned diced tomatoes, chili flakes, and yogurt to make a spicy/creamy rigatoni. Shit was actually good as hell. Whole fat greek yogurt is super underrated as an ingredient, super versatile.

I'm not currently living in poverty, but I have before. In reality, at least in the US, you can still eat a large selection of foods. Beans and rice get LARPed in every budget thread, but in reality, most people are eating frozen pizzas and boxed dinners to get to the next paycheck. Slightly smarter anons might microwave some cheese wrapped inside a tortilla, or combine a few different cans of food to make a soup. Maybe 1% of posters take the bait and actually try to live on literal rice and beans. I doubt they last more than a few days.

It never was. You could always save money in the long run by buying your own ingredients but it requires planning because buying your own ingredients/meat/veggies/fruit requires buying large quantities up front. Poor people are mostly retarded, though, so they can't understand how to divide out those up front costs over long periods to realize the massive savings over processed/prepared single serving food.

Any Amerikanski know where to get lard here in the US? All I find is vegetable oil in most stores. Sometimes duck fat

I get pure lard from a local farm. Even if you can get lard in a grocery store it's almost always hydrogenated (increases shelf life but is absolutely terrible for your body). Just look up farms near you, many of them have websites and sell direct.

Most stores sell it in plastic tubs but that's pretty much just for cooking with, for eating you want smoked lard which you should be able to get at eastern euro ethnic shops

It's not hard to make, just take fatty pork and a little water leave on low for an extended period and strain. Hydrogenated lard that is basically crisco is also widely available next to the shortening
