« Last post by smokeyquartz on July 06, 2023, 05:35:15 am »I had gotten suet from a butcher and was eating it by breaking off pieces. It had a cheesy smell and I know it wasn't grass-fed, but eating it reduced my cravings for chocolate/sugar. I read Aajonus say somewhere that chocolate cravings are signs of a fat deficiency, and I think he was right. It kind of had the texture of chocolate.
However, the suet goes bad pretty soon. Mine started to get black mold spots on it within two weeks, so I could not finish it all. I feel bad wasting it, but I have no way to keep it other than in plastic bags in the fridge, and I don't trust that anything fermenting in plastic is safe.
Then I bought some supermarket grass-fed beef from a local store. I have had grass-fed beef from that store before, but this one was actually good. The meat was a darker red color and tasted better. And even more unique, the fat was yellow! It was the first time I actually had a grass-fed meat where the fat in it was really yellow. I thought how strange! But I ate it. Unfortunately there was not a lot of fat, and most of it tied to connective tissue that was inedible.
I found a grass-fed farm near me (there are multiple actually), and of course they all sell the meat frozen. But this meat that I bought there does not look at all like the good grass-fed I got at the supermarket. The fat is white. I don't know if this has to do with the cut (delmonico) or perhaps the farmers are actually NOT grass-feeding the animals.
