My favorite of his are all the "this is technically food, it has calories and if you eat it you won't die of starvation" videos.

It also made me realize how hard it is to find suet that isn't meant for birds.

I just bought 3 kilos of suet, as in the real kidney fat stuff, 5.50 euros a kilo. Took them some asking around but they found a source. I am fortunate to have a good butchers shop out here in the sticks. I still need to wait until June before I can pick it up though.

Didn't they used to fry french fries in this stuff in McD up until the 80s? Or was that just ordinary beef fat? Either way it's something I wanna try. I am also thinking suet might be good for frying donuts and other things.

They used beef tallow at McDonald's, and it owned.

What's the difference between suet and tallow? It's kinda confusing, some sources I've read say beef tallow is suet that's been rendered. Which is what I was planning todo with it so it'll have a long shelf life.

Liquid Communism posted:

Suet is specifically fat from around the loins and kidneys of sheep or cows, while tallow is rendered fat in general. Tallow is shelf stable, suet requires refrigeration long-term.

Does rendered suet have a particular name to distinguish it?

It was basically the coffee people drank here during WW2 in finland and sweden as well, because they couldn't get real coffee. I would like to try chicory coffee some day.

It wasn't a problem I found, just add lots of butter I made like 6 of them in one go. I mostly kept it at setting 7 (of 10) on my induction top in a cast iron skillet, sometimes I dropped to 6, so around medium-high-ish I guess. They aren't very thick and when you do the finger pressing thing they get flatter, it's like a milder form of beating them with a meat hammer.
