Si preparano con grasso di bue o di montone.Sono molli, molto grasse al tatto, e dànno fiamma fuligginosa.)

From John Falkner: And on tallow candles ... at the Castle Museum in York, where they have a street of original shops and industries - a sort of Yorkshire Skansen - there is a tallow candle makers shop and workshop, dipping troughs and all. Might be worth a visit, when such things become possible. It's my home city, and I'd be happy to see you there - History: Roman, Viking (Anders would be welcome), Saxon, Norman-French and once the capital of England. (English)
