From what I understand, they dry the meat - http://www.pet-snacks.co.uk/detail/?id=10 - it's not really greaves as those are mostly made of fat, tallow, while this dog food consists mostly of real meat, as on that web, 55% protein.

Since you have introduced the idea of dog food into the answer, here is another definition "The sediment of melted tallow. It is made into cakes for dogs' food. In Scotland it is called {cracklings}. [Written also {graves}.]." http://www.onlinethesaurus.co.uk/reference/dictionary.jsp?q=...

identical; Jenny and I discussed the issue at some length last year, but - as Jenny rightly points out - there was never a final answer. We are now signing off another text of the batch for print, so I just wanted to make a last ditch attempt to find out :-).

Sounds fine as a generic term, in which case IMO the asker is actually correct by suggesting just beef greaves (or cracklings)? ?

LOL Jenny ... such a memorable conversation, and almost exactly one year ago ...
So how about just the very generic "rendered"? That covers all the bases, including baking, leaving out in the sun to melt, other conversion processes ...
so ... rendered beef (or suet) cracklings?

Thanks for the reminder of the conversation last year, Liz. It's the same client and the same issues, apparently. I don't know if we'll ever get a satisfactory translation for this!

Hi Liz, I remember my mom getting škvarky by baking (i.e. roasting)
a "juicy" piece.

We were also puzzled about the "nesmažené", as škvarky are made by frying (rendering) animal fat -- which is why the client said they should really be called "lojové škvarky".

12:32 Aug 15, 2016 

...also called cracklings. You might wish to use the non fried because there are other methods, such as baking. http://www.ditchthecarbs.com/2015/05/26/how-to-make-cracklin...

This same term came up last year. Perhaps the same client. Some of the things said there:
Translator: Apparently the client has given a 'helpful' explanation, that it's actually more accurate to say "lojové škvarky"...
Colleague: In the Good Soldier Svejk, lojove skvarky is translated as "suet cracklings", whatever that is ...
Translator: [The client] is going for something with greaves in the end, which is the residue left after the rendering of tallow, according to the Collins dictionary.
Hope this helped ...
