Butter vs. Lard

So there was another pie thunderdome at work.  This time it was a fat fight -- lard vs. butter.

It's kind of hard to have a taste test when you have an ingredient that's neither vegetarian or kosher.

For those willing to go in blind, though, lard was the winner. There's definitely a flavor difference that's almost savory.

However, if you were to go strickly on consumption, the butter pie went first.  Again, though, those findings could be considered skewed based on diet limitations.
