During the development of Mortal Kombat, one of the game designers suggested that Dan use it in the game. Toasty is also the name of Scorpion's most famous Fatality. In Mortal Kombat II, a specialized Toasty Fatality can make Dan Forden say Toasty! after the Fatality with a text appearing that reads Toasty!.
Lard is animal (pig) fat, and shortening is vegetable fat. Lard is not used much anymore because it is very high in saturated fat. It is great for pie crust--makes a very flaky crust. I don't think I would use it for icing--it can have a distinct flavor of its own.
In general, the term shortening can apply to any oil-or. -based ingredient â liquid or solid-used in baking. More specifically, recipes use the term to mean solid vegetable shortening rather than those made from animal fats (including lard, which is from pork).Vegetable-based shortening is lower in. than. . Shortening should not be used in place of oils for salads, but it can be melted and used in many recipes. â¢ Shortening is less liquid than oils and butter. Just add extra water to the recipe. â¢ For increased flavor, include some butter and reduce the like amount of shortening.
