                This is the best pie crust I have every made.  I made two pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving and everyone noticed the delicious crust.  I live with my 93-year-old grandmother so she had some leaf lard in the freezer but I didn't know why it was different than regular lard.  After seeing it on the show I researched it on the internet.

                Hi Rahy, 
                How is it going in Tunisia? I visited once when I was a little girt.  Mostly I just remember many, very white buildings in the sand.
                Probably the best substitute for lard is a processed shortening (Crisco brand). 
                
                Since you don't have it, I would suggest making Martha's pate brisee/ pie crust recipe which only contains butter (with some flour salt, sugar

                Hello, I am currently Living in Tunisia , North Africa and I doubt very much that I can find Leaf Lard, especially if it comes from pig :/
                Is there a substitute? Maybe from a cow?
                Any suggestions?

                Oh, I saw the video. It turns out that the "new processor" was just a new lid for the Cuisinart. The lid is the one w/out a feed tube.
                
                I believe to find Leaf Lard you have to find yourself a real butcher. It comes from a pig. It is special lard found around/near the kidneys.  I  imagine it is not very easy to find. Ask any butchers....

                I missed this show but heard from a friend that the chef making the pie was using a new food processor. Does anyone know what she (my friend) was talking about? Which "new" processor did he have?
