What is "lymph meat"? Are lumps on meat safe?

Question

Accepted Answer

"Lymph meat" is not a scientific term. It likely originated from a description of lymphatic tissue, or lymph nodes in meat. As a product of animal origin, meat may not always have a perfect appearance. You might notice multiple round fat lumps in your meat, which are often mistaken for lymph nodes. These lumps are a natural part of the animal's body and are generally safe to eat. However, if you're concerned, you can simply remove the lump before cooking your meat.
