A gallon of lard weighs approximately 7.5 pounds. This is because lard has a density of around 0.915 grams per milliliter, and there are approximately 3785 milliliters in a gallon. By multiplying the density by the volume, we can calculate the weight of a gallon of lard.

Lard is used in many many things, so a comprehensive book is unlikely. Many times, due to people's negative perception of lard, manufacturers will label products with many things such as "clarified fat", "rendered fat", and I've even seen "kidney fat". If you see anything along the lines of pork fat, then that too is lard.
Vegetable lard does not exist, its an oxymoron. So animal lard;)

Lard isn't considered food as such. You wouldn't find lard on a menu. And not many would consider eating lard pure by the spoonful. Lard might be used either as an ingredient, or to prepare food with. But not as A food in itself. Lard is very fatty, lots and lots of calories. Meaning eating it by the spoonful would quickly become unhealthy anyhow, even if it isn't considered junk food.

Lard is basically pig fat and was often used in many foods as a cooking fat or as a spread similar to butter. Its use in modern cuisine has diminished because of health concerns posed by its saturated fat content. The qualities of lard can vary based on which part of the pig the fat was taken from and how the lard was processed. Lard is still used to manufacture soap.
