lardy

Thick with drippings

Lardy means containing or resembling lard—the rendered fat of pigs used in cooking.

A lardy cake is a British pastry made with lard, sugar, and dried fruit.

More commonly, lardy describes someone as overweight or flabby: He's gotten a bit lardy since he stopped exercising.

The term is informal and mildly insulting.
