People have fried things in lard for millennia. You can certainly use it in some condiments like Schmalz, mayo, etc but it’s mostly used for cooking.

Yeah I bet, but with Americans you never know, I've seen people pour melted processed butter across popcorn, so when it comes to what Americans eat, I've learned to always ask rather than assume.

Wait, there are people who don’t put butter on popcorn? You don’t know what you’re missing.
Well, I don't eat popcorn at all, the "skin/shell" gets stuck in my teeth so not worth it :) My wife though loves popcorn, but I don't think she'd ever pour melted butter over them, too health-conscious for that I suppose.
