=== Adipose Tissue and the Sciatic Nerve ===
The blood prohibition applies to all land animals (fish blood is kosher, which doesn't mean Jews drink it by the glassful). When However, when it comes to farm mammals (cattle, sheep and goats), though, there are still some more limitations. Firstly, eating their suet, or fat covering certain internal organs, is forbidden. Just like blood, it used to be reserved for the sacrifices offered in the Temple. Jews believed that God found the stench of burning animal fat particularly pleasant.
