Cooking with Lard
About the episode
The subject of this Cooking With was fuelled mainly by the low low cost of blocks of Kard brand lard at a local supermarket, however Matt Lyon's hate of this byproduct only served to anger him further.
It was recorded in Langwith D block kitchen on the ground floor.
The closing titles featured Jimmy Durante's "Make Someone Happy", which Boots the Chemist had used as their Christmas theme. They attempted to sell the single in the store that Rob worked part time in, and when it flopped the staff were all given free copies.
