Tallow
Rendered animal fat useful for more than just cooking.
Notes
Tallow is rendered animal fat used as a fuel, a cooking ingredient, and a source of dietary fat. It burns for 2000 fuel units in campfires and kilns, and appears in many recipes from Bannock to Biodiesel and Grease. Because it contains only fat (8 units) with no other nutrients, eating it raw gives a poor nutrition balance—use it as an ingredient in mixed dishes to get the most XP benefit from your diet.
