Schmaltz. If you keep kosher, it's something you would use in place of dairy butter when cooking your meat meal. My great uncle would spread it on bread instead of butter. It tastes like chicken.
In the non-kosher world one might use lard (pork.)
I agree that both can be used for pan frying, but I don't know anyone who spreads lard on bread as if it was butter. In the same way, you cannot use schmaltz to make pastry or pie crust (not that you'd be doing that during Passover, anyway).
