As someone raised on a dairy farm, I've been interested in the history of butter, oleo, margarine, oleomargarine, and related legislation (usually to protect the dairy industry). (Not sure if I've ever had food made with lard; all I can ever remember my mom using was margarine or Crisco.)

You sir have missed out on one of the great pleasures of life biscuits made with lard.
He** and Da** aren't considered cuss words here in England, so we don't have alternatives such as 'Heck' and 'Darn'. After so long here on The Porch, I find myself using these latter words in everyday life, and getting some very odd looks for doing so, far more so than for the saltier language I occasionally employ!![]()

Jack I remember my mom getting angry when I used words like those and would say "that's just a side pocket way of cussing"
