Sorry Wayne, here I am picking Nits again. LOL

I'm sure it's silly but what is Leaf Lard, a brand name? or something
different from regular lard?

We used to get lard in a small bucket and I believe it was Maple Leaf brand
& correctly or not, we called it leaf lard. It was made from rendered pork fat.

A look at that above urls will specifically point to 'visceral fat' rendered
down. I will attest that any pork lard will make a much tastier pastry than
Crisco and such.

LOL that's what I would have thought, but sometimes differences in
speech can point to real differences in product too, so I thought I
better make sure. thanks so much. Kitty
