[Sca-cooks] Marrow fat (Was goose fat)

[Betsy Marshall]

Tallow dips are made just like those colonial(am.) hand-dipped candles,
but you use tallow (beef fat) instead of wax or paraffin (petroleum
substitute for wax).
"lamps" are a stone or ceramic shallow dish, with wick/s (one or more) laid
from center to edge and tallow/fat poured over. once lit the wick will melt
enough of he fat to move up the wick and provide light or heat- these tend
to be rather smoky and smelly, no doubt why wax candles were preferred. but
sooooo authentic!
