Yeah, good article -- it wasn't out there during my initial investigations, but it pretty much covers the entire subject.

I hesitate to use butter, though because I've seen a distinction made between tail fat and butter in some of the Islamic cookbooks. Although I recently made some smen (goat butter ghee) to play with a few Moroccan recipes.
