I tried Crisco once, many years ago.
Once was enough.

  there used to be a coffee shop with pastries and soups
and such.  i thought i would try it out to see if it was
worth the trip.

  i walked by their display case and saw most of their
cookies on small pieces of paper and the grease was
spreading out from them staining the paper.  ok, perhaps
it was butter?  i tried one.  gross.  no, it was crisco.
nasty.  i never went back.  expensive and disgusting.

  we have a very small container of it here in the fridge
because for a certain recipe that Mom makes it is required
but i would never make that stuff myself (i don't eat it).
crisco and cool whip both go through me like a hot knife
through butter.  we did fry things with it when i was a
kid but i was much happier when we used peanut oil or
liquid vegetable oils instead.  just make sure to do the
fish last.
