I don't know if it's Just 'this Ox Heart(from Morrisons)', 'all Ox heart', or heart in general... But the fat on it tastes horrible. It's diced, and the meat and fat are in big chunks(some just muscle, vv and mixed). It's about 16% protein and 20% fat, so I thought it would be a good way to boost my fat intake as it's been quite low since raw, since I can't eat the mince meat I used to get(for cooked) raw. I've had raw fat from NZ Lamb Chops, West Country Rump & Topside, the small amount on British Braising Steak and it was all nice. This fat is reluctant to even go down my throat and doesn't taste nice at all...
Anyone know why?
N.B. I have no 'complaints' about the meat; just the fat.

Is this the 1st suet you've tried?
-
'Suet'? Yeah it is the first. Although when I 'googled': 'Define: Suet' it came up with 'the hard fat surrounding the kidneys and loins', whilst this stuff surrounded the heart.
-
It's on the heart too. I'm still up in the air about suet. What works best for me so far with it, is to finely grate the suet, and mix it with chunks of meat.
-
Strange the taste... I wonder what that's about =/
-
I find the suet around the heart tastes a bit worse than kidney suet.
I personally really enjoy kidney suet but avoid heart suet when I can.

I know it's not paleo, but I have mixed a little grass grazed raw fresh grated parmesan in with the grated suet, and it tasted better to me. I like lamb kidney fat. I don't like bison (mixed) suet so much, but it's easier to get.
