Tubolard washes up on beach at Angus nature reserve !


Storms over the east coast have resulted in several unusual relics from World War II washing up on an Angus beach.
Staff at St Cyrus nature reserve said four large, barrel-shaped pieces of lard have appeared on the shore.
The fat is believed to have escaped from the wreck of a merchant vessel that was bombed in WW II.
Scottish Natural Heritage said the lard was still a brilliant white and smelled "good enough to have a fry up with."
The lard would have originally been stored in wooden barrels, which have long since rotted away.

    After all these years amazing what happens.

    Tubs/Carbo will need to get more bread in to cater for the toast to go with the lard.

    Now dripping on toast was something that I usded to love eating before I became a diabetic
