Lard and onions.

I new a German survivor of WWII.  Directly after the war it was impossible to find fat of any kind.  People went blind because their bodies absorbed the fat around their eyes. 

First thing he did when he got to America was buy tubs of lard and onions.  He said he could survive anything with lard and onions.

Ran out of Crisco a bit ago.  Planned on buying more.  Eeek.  Seemed pricey.  Bought lard instead for roughly half the price.  Yummy.
