a Food Network, Alton Brown episode called "Tamale Never Dies"? He
made a comment about lard during the show and I didn't quite catch it.
Help, please.

I found it, now you watch it and tell me what his comment on lard was.

AB says: "I mean, sure, you could use shortening, and the texture
would be nice and light, but the flavor would be flat. Lard, or
rendered pig fat? Oooh, that's flavor. [we run for the door again,
only to be stopped by AB] Lard is lower in saturated fat than butter,
and it contains about the same percentage of monounsaturated fats as
sunflower oil. What's more, most of the lards on the market are free
of the trans fats that so often lurk inside shortening. So, come on,
give lard a chance. Let's make tamales."
