On some cuts, like a strip sirloin, I do if it’s been cut thin enough to crisp up all the way through and it’s been cooked on the edge so it’s actually crispy. Same thing for pork chops. The big hunks of fat in a ribeye/prime rib? No thanks.

^^ This! As mcrimm mentioned earlier, the texture of fat in my mouth will cause undesirable consequences.

Yummy yummy. Smile

I don't eat a lot of red meat and when I do it's usually venison. So when I get me some beef, I probably eat the fat first. Or fat and beef in every fork full till it's gone.

Too much pork fat on the other hand makes me feel all ookie. Frown

I generally cut it loose. I don't try to eat it but if some is in the meat then so be it.

Back in the day, nothing was wasted. Dad particularly likes the dried fat ends on a piece of meat.

I love a well marbled Ribeye or Delmonico. Any big chunks of fat on the steak, whether around it,or in it, gets removed leaving just about 1/4” of fat to crisp up. Crispy fat, charred on the outside, red on the inside. Boy that sounds good.

I eat the fat but just the portion that's immediately around the steak.

I wouldn't eat just the fat by itself.

Marbled steak does taste better to me, but I really should be using a scalpel instead of a steak knife.
