Want some WWII Lard?

The sea is a funny place. Sometimes it takes things and never gives them back, like the USS Cyclops. Other times, it just kinda borrows them and spits them back up years later.

In Scotland it looks like barrel-shaped stocks of lard, believed to be 70+ years old are washing up. Thought to be from ships lost just offshore from the WWII era, the lard is still good to go even if it is covered with saucer sized barnacles.

“Animals, including my dog, have certainly enjoyed the lard, and it still looks and smells good enough to have a fry up with.”
