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.
Shortening is a fat thatâs solid at room temperature - like Crisco or other hydrogenated vegetable oils - and used in baking.<br /> <br /> Shortening can sometimes also mean butter or lard, since both of these ingredients serve the same purpose in a baking recipe. However, conventional wisdom is that if a recipe calls for shortening it refers to hydrogenated vegetable oil.
