Thanks, that's a great idea. I was kind of stunned that they were
willing to sell it in the first place, and my brain wasn't working on
all cylinders. I did think about asking them to cut it in half, but it
was frozen, and they were really busy. I'll go earlier in the day
(hope it's during a lull) next time and assert myself. Maybe I'll
just ask if they will set aside a half pound package for me the next
time they package fat and pay for it ahead of time.
