During WW2, some british flyers went to the Soviet Union to fly for them. The first day the weather turned cold, the women brought out pots of boiling fat for them to eat. The airmen were disgusted. But after flying at high altitude in the bitter cold, they came to relish the breakfast of fat.

That sounds like an interesting read. I couldn't find anything in my brief google search. Do you have a lead I can follow? Thanks

I wish I had a source. I learned it from talking to a WW2 pilot.

My Dad used to compete with his brothers and sisters for the lard to make a sandwich of.

The lard was left over from cooking meat.
