Is there a picture of the Chop Suey Surprise? Is lard the surprise, or is it something even more shocking?

Maybe your new-fangled, Frenchified boiled icing doesn’t contain fat, but back in my day, we used our entire week’s worth of lard rations for a vat of boiled icing for the whole neighborhood to share.

Okay, I admit it. I have no idea what I’m talking about.

I hate to say it, but boiled icing doesn’t actually cantain any fat. It’s just Italian meringue.

I found this article about the “come back” of lard. http://www.foodandwine.com/articles/lard-the-new-health-food Lard contains just 40 percent saturated fat (compared with nearly 60 percent for butter). Its level of monounsaturated fat (the “good” fat) is “a very respectable 45 percent,” he noted, “double butter’s paltry 23 or so percent.” …..

Boiled icing and codfish balls all round!!

Sadly, she died of heart disease with no survivors. Hungry and lonely to the end.
