I can never seem to find good quality, raw animal fat. I have a supplier that can get me rendered beef tallow, which tastes disgusting to me because it's been so cooked. I have one place that I order online from to get raw beef suet, but it tastes disgusting as well and is impossible to eat because my body basically rejects it. I feel this is a sign that the quality of the fat isn't great.
Does anyone have any suggestions for finding good raw animal fat? My favorite fat is the fat off of muscle meats that has been warmed, but not to the point of it being "cooked." I find that addictive.
Cooked fat makes me so nauseous I can't stand it, and I am on a very special version of the raw no-carb diet because my pancreas is totally shot. I can only eat about 45 grams of protein per day and the rest of my calories are pure fat. If I stray from this my body punishes me brutally with high blood sugar, then low blood sugar, then severe pancreatitis-like pain. So, finding good fat is important.

Raw grassfed tongue, raw grassfed leg of lamb(the white fat is unusually edible). Also raw grassfed brain, and, if you can stomach it, the raw white fat on raw, grassfed heart. Oh, and raw, grassfed marrow.

We just had lamb heart for the first time and I couldn't help but to cut off some of the fat and eat that plain. I'm such a fataholic too. Where do you order the suet from?
Where do you live?
Do you take pancreatic enzymes by any chance? If your pancreas is so stressed you might want to look into it until you are better. Without your pancreas working well it might help keep the basic enzymatic processes going.

Finding quality raw fat is my biggest challenge too. Look on http://www.eatwild.com/ (http://www.eatwild.com/) or try contacting your local Weston A Price Foundation Chapter to find nearby grassfed animal farmers. You can also try slanker's grassfed beef, u.s. wellness beef, or northstar bison online.

You could try talking to a few farmers.
Most discard the extra fat, or use it for tallow.
I get grass fed beef fat from a farmer for $2.50/lb.
Brain is really good like TD mentioned. If you find a farmer that can get you brain I'm sure they'd have beef fat too.

I get my raw, grassfed beef back fat from the same butcher that supplies my raw, grassfed beef. Go to your butcher and ask for the fat that they trim from the hind quarter, such as from a London broil or a eye of round roast. I found that easier than getting the butcher to order tongue or brains. I get the marrow bones, too, but they are limited, so the trimmed back fat is the way to go.
