Title: Fat recommendations
Post by: technosmith on September 25, 2010, 11:32:22 pm

Hey guys,

I need to add some serious extra calories to my raw meals in the form of fat. I already eat enough protein.

I currently struggle to get decent eggs to eat raw, and I have not yet located a decent source for fish yet either.

I currently ask my butcher for the fattiest cuts of beef/lamb, I get bone marrow bones, and I ask for additional animal fat trimmings.

Is there any fat source other than these that I could ask for specifically? Is there a particular area on a cow/lamb that is pure fat that people ask for?

Any particular favourites? I get the impression that bone marrow is a favourite with most. Not tried suet yet (Don't even know if this is available)

Also, does the fat trimmings people get tend to have like a chewy thin skin like membrane round the outside? I have been pulling the inner fatty portion out of this membrane.
Do people know what I am mean, and if so, do they just get it down them, or do they remove it?

Cheers,

You could get some backfat from http://www.northstarbison.com/. Also if your okay with eating plant fats, coconuts are great.

Unfortunately, I don't process dairy very well.

Raw tongue is very fatty. It's more easily available than some other organ-meats and tastes great.

Thanks for the tips.

Yer, I am tempted by the tongue, especially as you say it tastes great.

The yellow fat that comes from the outside of the muscle-meat is very savorous and flavorful :)
