recipe
This is from a recipe for Kartoffelpuffer. LEO gives "greaves", which my dictionary defines as tallow. Would "dripping" or "lard" be equivalent?
"100 g Speck, 40 g Grieben und 4 Knoblauchzehen in sehr kleine Würfel schneiden und mit Salz, Pfeffer, 2 Teel. gem.
Kümmel und 3 Teel. Majoran untermengen."
"100 g Speck, 40 g Grieben und 4 Knoblauchzehen in sehr kleine Würfel schneiden und mit Salz, Pfeffer, 2 Teel. gem.
Kümmel und 3 Teel. Majoran untermengen."

cracklings
according to Langenscheidt, for which Webster claims
"the crisp residue left after the fat has been separated from the fibrous tissue in rendering lard or frying or roasting the skin of pork, turkey, duck, or goose usually used in plural;"

here's what OED says about greaves
"The fibrous matter or skin found in animal fat, which forms a sediment on melting and is pressed into cakes to serve as meat for dogs or hogs, fish-bait, etc.; the refuse of tallow; cracklings."

: That's the expression I'm familiar with. (I have just discovered to my surprise that Langenscheidt and Pons Collins also offer 'cracklings' as a translation - news to me.

: see what OED has to say about "greaves", can't imagine that this would be part of a recipe for humans??

: A rather obscure term in this context. For instance, M-W does not have this definition.

greaves
I don't think that you could go with "lard" or "dripping" here. "Grieben" are small crunchy bits of meat, which you wouldn't associate with lard imho.
