I mean, except the cracklings as a lard byproduct and water requirement for tallow. Is lard just simply superior or there is some super-secred recipe requiring tallow i didnt notice?

Edit/ Er, uh, sorry, that was supposed to be in the Bunker ☹

Lard is better, because of cracklings, but you get recipe for tallow on lower skill. There are recipe differences, you can compare it here:

All of those differences boil down to recipe differences. The items themselves are identical.
