I remember in the 1970s when I was a kid in Queens, NYC Crisco was the main provider of Lard & Tallow. Everyone would use it to make fried foods. I believe even KFC, McDonald's, BK & White Castle used to use it for the french fries & fried chicken. It definitely use to taste better. If you go to the American South a lot of places still use lard for fried chicken.
