Given the influx of Poles into the UK, you might have a better shot at getting it there than I have in the US.In my ingredients you need leaf lard. Can you get it in the UK? Or can you substitute it with something else.
I'm in the UK and I have never heard of it.
What recipe is it for and I might be able to see if there is a substitute.
I did a lot of research on lard and I use it now in place of vegetable oil in just about everything when heat is involved. When you heat vegetable oil it fires off trans fats like popcorn. This does not happen with lard. There was a great article in The Wall Street Journal about the animal fats thing. It's really a "must read" article. Very well researched and thorough. How many recipes start with "heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a frying pan"?
