Berserker?

Beserker, yes.

As orgasmic as her epiphany was, she should see a little reflection in the immediately previous post:

Methinks the Berserkers were not particularly renowned for taking care of themselves. True, as warriors they could ill afford to neglect their training…but neither was the body their temple.  And these days, I surely do worry about my Berserker in that regard.   It’s not just the smoking and heavy drinking that worry me: it’s the depressive lethargy that seems to have such a grip on him that forward momentum is almost impossible to build.

Lard and lethargy. No one debates that lard tastes good. It just such a shock to your system to process that it will literally suck the life out of you.

All things in moderation my friend, we eat fried food less than once a month.

That's when I find it hardest to consume lard or really greasy cuts of meat. When I used to eat that kind of stuff regularly, it wasn't so bad for my stomach (at least the digestion and energy levels after eating it), but I did have horrible acne and a cholesterol count in the 400+ range.

Now, like yourself, I limit myself to brief tastes of it. But when I enjoy it, my stomach churns on it like a frontloading washer and I feel like I have been smited by Thor's hammer of sloth. All I want to do is sit on the porch, drink tea and watch the slaves pick cotton.

But a lard-based apple pie crust: Heaven on a plate! You will dump the filling out, just to make it easier to get at the crust.
