You can get lard at Food Lion next to crisco. Use the lard for a more authentic taste. Eat it once a year. The lard won’t kill you, unless you are vegan.
And it won’t “kill” a vegan.
Only their ego.

It will taste a little different and not as authentic. It’s made with lard for a reason.

Butter has a much lower melting point so it’s not as good a replacement for lard. I’d say Crisco or stick with lard. Suet might work.

I would use butter because it has a pleasant after taste

Thanks for all responses!
I didn't know that Crisco was created to replace lard. I wanted to make as authentic as possible folar so I was actually able to find lard at Walmart.

Crisco was created to be a substitute for lard, it'll work but the flavor will be different.

You could try coconut oil or bacon grease, but it may change flavor

No. That would make a huge oily mess. Just use some butter or go to a hispanic store and buy lard.
