You know how butchers have these buckets where they chuck all the fat trimmings as they cut them? Would you guys eat the fat from here? They offer this for free. Or do you think I should offer to pay them to specifically save fat for me, trim out the not-so-nice bits and put it in a bag for me to collect?

There are no "not so nice bits" as long as it's edible it's fine.
I pay my butcher a small amount of money and I get these wonderful strands of back fat, long juicy and melty. It's like a dollar per kg.

How would you decide it's inedible?
I've had a cough lately. Basically the fat I'm getting now is the same as what I was getting from the other butcher, except this stuff does not smell strongly of chemicals(I can't tell if there is a faint smell or not) and I asked them before I got it and they said there shouldn't be any. I'm hoping the cough is just from the chemicals in the fat I was getting, as they did hurt my throat, but I can't tell for sure. Maybe it's an infection I've got, but as a result of my throat being weakened by them. This fat from the new butcher seems to dry my throat out, but then I think fat always does that, makes me want water, but it's just confusing because I have the cough still and it's still a bit sore, my throat. Also I slightly associate this fat badly because of my experience with the other butcher. I'll just have to wait and see if it clears up. I'll ask the new butcher about back-fat and suet too.

What examples would you give for fat which you would consider 'inedible'?
