Always Learning
gorduras servidas na mesa

Não achei termo equivalente em PT-BR, mas obviamente se refere às gorduras servidas na mesa, tais como margarina, manteiga, azeite de oliva, etc., diferentes das gorduras usadas na cozinha (azeite, banha suína, margarina culinária, etc.)

agree  Joao Correia: A melhor definição é esta, se bem que a tradução é pobre, muito devido ao facto de não haver uma tradução consagrada para português. Gorduras comestíveis é errado, pois a banha é comestível e não é uma table fat.

  -> thanks Marlene
neutral  Martin Riordan: Would you call dripping and pig lard "table fats"? They are edible fats, but not often served on the table...
3 hrs
  -> Not actually having ever heard the term table fats before I googled it, I think, at least in the north of England, dripping is commonly used. And Fettbemme in Germany. Not to mention the "goose grease sandwich"

Reference

Reference information:
The fatty acid composition of forty-three margarines and other edible fats was determined by gas chromatography. Considerable variations were found in the contents of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. The claims made for certain "improved" products are not always borne out. It is suggested that consumers' needs for information would be better served by a statement on the label of the L:S (linoleic acid:total saturated fatty acids) ratio.
