fat trimmings

Butcher's discarded lard

Fat trimmings are pieces of fat cut away from meat during butchering or cooking preparation.

Butchers remove excess fat to improve presentation or meet customer preferences; home cooks trim fat before roasting or grilling.

Fat trimmings may be rendered into lard or tallow, used for making sausages, or discarded: Save the fat trimmings for the stock pot.
