Lard is a block of rendered animal fat used for frying and baking. It is a cooking fat, not a snack. Eaten raw it makes a character unhappy, but in a dish it adds a lot of energy with no mood cost.
Lard is a baking fat, so it can stand in for Butter or Margarine in pie dough, cake batter, biscuits, cookies and muffins. It also works as a spice in soups, stews, pasta and other evolved dishes. It keeps without spoiling. Lard turns up in the fridges of bakeries, diners, cafeterias and grocery stores. The Chef is the best occupation for ingredients. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.
Eating
Eating the whole block lowers hunger by 24 but raises unhappiness by 30. That mood penalty makes raw lard a poor choice.
The block holds 4,095 calories, all of it as 454 grams of fat. That is one of the densest stores of energy a cook can find, at only 0.3 weight. Cooked into dishes, it is a strong way to put weight back on a thin character. Used as a cooking ingredient, its negative effects are removed.
Butter and Margarine lower hunger by the same 24 and cost less mood, at 20 unhappiness. They hold a little less energy, with 3,200 and 3,255 calories.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking
Lard adds 4 hunger each to Soup, Stew, Stir Fry and Pasta. It adds 2 each to a Sandwich, Taco, Burrito or Toast. It counts as a spice, so it does not take up one of the dish's ingredient slots.
In baking, the Prepare Pie Dough recipe takes one Lard in place of Butter or Margarine. It also needs a rolling pin, a mixing utensil, a bowl, flour, salt and water. Because Lard is a baking fat, it also fits Make Cake Batter, Prepare Biscuits, Prepare Muffins and the sugar, oatmeal, chocolate and chocolate chip cookie recipes. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further.
These dishes take the Lard as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Notes
- Lard replaces Butter or Margarine in every baking recipe that takes a baking fat.
- It adds calories to a dish as a spice, without using an ingredient slot.
- Do not eat it raw; the mood penalty is worse than with butter.
- A block never spoils, so it is a reliable baking fat late in a run.
