I don't agree with most of the original post but I do think that it's become a thing where it is hard to break into cooking (in a city especially) if you are over 20 and white, just because most restaurants in New York, Chicago, Boston,...

It's not particularly useful for an application of terrines or pates but lamb fat (assuming this is fat you're getting from butchering and not skimmed off of a braise or stock) does really well being brined/cured and smoked to be used as...
