I thought about this thread yesterday. I had shot a doe and she was pretty fat. I trimmed all the rump fat and visceral fat and saved it in a 1 gallon bag during processing. Even pulled a few flank sections in two layers of fat that I normally just cut what I can and donate the rest to the woods critters.
So I took all this out to the grill to fry it and render it. It makes Black powder lube for wads and I want to try making candles with it too. I fried the meat flank slices first. Figure I'll save them for pooch treats and feed some fried fat scrapes to the chickens. I gave the dog one and I looked at one and was like wow, that looks good. So I eat one. 30 seconds later I remember why I don't eat deer fat as I feel like someone crisco'd the roof of my mouth.
I had to get hot tea and swish it around in my mouth and promised the dog I would take any more of her treats!!
