I cheated this time; I called the grocery store closest to our house, and asked whether they would grind beef fat for me. The very nice gentleman did just that, which saved me time and trouble, and he also said he removed as much meat as possible, and put it through the grinder twice.

I made three blocks right away.

Too bad this is bird food; it looks pretty good…kind of like a granola bar. If I didn’t know what was in it, I would probably at least taste it.

The trash pandas got a pretty good amount.

I set it on the table outside the door while I went to do something else. These are not trash pandas.

EDIT: Next day. I cut the cold tallow into bird biscuits. Kept a few in the fridge for the next batch, and put the rest in bags in the freezer so the little skim of agar-looking gel doesn’t go mouldy.
