Curious, :question

After finally getting around to reading the latest BWJ I have a question for all bannock eaters.  The recipe called for lard, a staple in my youth, which sounded pretty good.  I have never had bannock before and this "lard" ingredient has me thinking maybe this recipe should be my first experience.  He talked about baked verses fried, what way do you all like it?  FWIW my mother use to pour all the bacon fat into the lard container in the fridge.  I guess by todays standards eating that would be a dietary sin :(.

I dont know about you all but when I camp, I eat whatever I want.  It is one place where I do not take those rules along.  I must say...I have been blessed not to have too many restrictions on diet so far.  So I can still act like a little kid stealing cookies out of the cookie jar.
I digress.  What about the bannock?  Share your opinions.
