So obviously I want to eat straight lard as a way of gaining.

Lard and cream are actually very healthy foods, the Keto and Carnivore eaters lose weight eating them.
However there is a very important caveat, NO CARBS. When you don't eat carbohydrates the body will try and burn fat as fuel hence it's weightloss effect. If you do eat carbs then the fat gets stored because of the body's insulin respose.
For us then what we want is a mixture of carbs and fat in large amounts. Pastry is one such food, very tasty and loads of variety such as various pies and cakes.
Cooking with lard is good, as is frying bread in lard. Eating it straight will get boring fast.
Cream is the most edible of pure fat but even then it's better to pour it on apple pie than try and drink it from the jug.
You can use cream instead of milk when making any kind of gainer shake. Top up with milk to suit your taste. The idea is to consume the maximum amount the easiest way possible.
Lard can have health benefits. However, it needs to be as unprocessed as possible.
Lard is rendered pig fat. If you make it yourself, it's better for you than butter. However, the lard you by in stores is hydrogenated to make it shelf stable. This completely strips it of all health benefits.
And as for cream thing, I want to clarify for OP's sake that weight gain shakes should be used as a supplement and not as the main event. It's possible to get so full from them that you end up eating fewer calories than you planned. I've seen people who don't gain or even lost weight because of it.
I completely agree with everything else you've said.
