Ania – very interesting idea. I watch your YouTube channel but don’t have a way to comment on it. If you go to the butcher or meat locker here in the US and ask for a leaf of pork fat you will get what your mother was mincing. Lard in the US is after the fat tissue is heated and the fat is rendered or cooked out of the tissue so you end up with cracklings and lard. I use pork fat is several Chinese dishes I cook and have purchased it for a friend from Kazakhstan who was wanting to making some traditional dishes for us. Love your cooking!
