#Things you are surprised to gain about England: Muntjacs

[bonefall]

In regards to muntjac kidney fat, based on the attached link it looks like they do regularly have suitable fat present, though humans find it bad-tasting.

The specific fat in the question resolves to being something else, but multiple answers in the forum thread suggest it’s the same sort of fat as suet and that it’s possible to get it from muntjac deer.

LOOKS LIKE MEAT SUET'S BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS

Seems like there's a fair amount of stearic acid in it too, according to the chatter... that's the stuff that's used to make soap and wax. Also very promising that they're mentioning that Muntjacs are apparently STUFFED with fat, that's very very helpful. That's the sort of thing WindClan would perk their ears up at.

That also means though that it would taste a bit waxy. It's not the ideal suet, BUT it's still suet and I'm positive they would be able to look past it if it's their only option. I wonder if there's some way they can process and separate the stearic acid out of the suet...
