Summary: LARD is GOOD

While I accept that lard is bad for you ( I haven't bought any
in over a year) and fattening to boot, it sure makes refried
beans taste good.  Refrieds with oil just don't have that
decadent greasiness that lard imparts.

I am told that lard gives a special flakiness to crusts and
that it is a key ingredient in flour tortillas.

You can buy lard in almost every grocery store.  No doubt, it
has been around for thousands of years.  What's more, if you
live in a relatively cool climate, it will keep right there on
the shelf in the cupboard.  For months.
