rendered fats are allways pasty no matter what is your need for it .

nothing to do with temperature , there is some thing in the saliva and
digestives juices of someone in need of saturated fats that stop the fat to
be pasty . as soon enough is eaten the saliva don't stop the fat to be glued
to your mouth .
for this to be experienced
first create a need for saturated fats
second the fat have to be undenatured ( not heated )
anyway fats eaten at body temperature(  fat that had not cooled off , just
after the kill  especially ) is way more fluid , eaten direct from the
fridge is not the best .
