Suction
A neighbour recently had a sink outlet blockage. A plumber used an industrial-strength vacuum cleaner to suck it clear in moments - mostly rice and fat. It might be worth trying a domestic wet/dry vacuum cleaner, such as can be seen at http://www.walmart.com/c/kp/wet-dry-vacuum-cleaners and other sites found by a search engine.
