favour ... over 〜

「〜よりも...を好む」。

例文は、オーストラリアの新聞、The Age紙から。クリスマスにちなんだ記事、'Suet's come to this:a quest for the perfect pudding fat'です。

'Suet is the hard fat from around a cow's kidneys. Christmas pudding cooks favour it over other kinds of fat because it has a high melting point and dense texture that grates up relatively easily and is resilient enough to hold all that dried fruit together during the crucial eight-hour cooking period'

Suetというのは、「牛や羊などの腎臓の固い脂肪」のことで、料理で使われるそうです。知らなかった!
