The above passage is only about bovine suet, but sheep and goat fat is covered by similar regulations.
And then there's probably the weirdest prohibition of them all: Jews are not allowed to eat a string that goes down all along the thigh and if it's damaged, then you can't move your hind limb. This commandment is linked to a Biblical story about an injury suffered by Jacob Israel while fighting sparring with some mysterious figure when there was no one else around (kind of like Brad Pitt's character in ''Fight Club''). The key word in the passage below has been translated as "sinew", but what it's really about is the sciatic nerve.
