Dried fat can be used for tanning

[Bert Preast]

I took an elk and de-haired the fur as I need leather, and at some point while waiting for the de-hairing to finish I have absent-mindedly dried the fat to eat.  The elk fat was still preparing but I had a large lump of dried grey seal fat ready in my cellar so I tried using that, and it worked.  I am no tanner, but I suspect dried fat would not work so this may be a bug?

Well, you do require water as well. I guess it could be (partially) reconstituted, but then it's just less efficient then fresh fat.
