I'd advise trimming "just the bigger parts". The first batch I did had one
piece with a big ol' chunk of suet on one edge, as I wanted a decent ratio
of fat to meat. After the FP mulch, there were several large (reletively)
pieces of fat in the grind which I had to remove. later, I trimmed pieces
to a max of about 1/8" of suet and the mix came out nicely.

This probably wouldn't have been a problem with a true meat grinder, but
mine is out of action right now. The FP works very well as directed, just
not with large pieces of suet. One solution might be to separate then
finely mince any suet.
