    I cook with good old-fashioned lard, no shortening thank you.
    Granny (The Beverly Hillbillies) used that as laundry soap.
    It seems that would be awfully greasy.

    As I told Daryl... I think that she was using lye soap, not lard...

    One time I was at a arts and crafts fair and this woman demonstrated
    how lye soap was made. I brought a bar but never used it.
    I listening to a Fred Allen show from 1941 and they were spoofing the
    play "Tobacco Road". One the the characters mentioned a new product she
    had seen in a store called "So-Ap". :)
