larding needle
A special tool used to
LARD meats. There are many styles, but the most common is one that has a sharp, pointed tip and a hollow body. A long, thin strip of the
LARDing agent (usually pork fat or bacon) is inserted into the tool's hollow cavity and the needle is then used to thread the fat through the meat. See also
LARD.
