Suet
Does anyone have a clue how I can get this shredded suet (Atora in the uk) I can get it at a British shop or speciality shop if I'm gonna pay mega bucks for it.
Or even an equivalent would be handy to know about?
I just love a nice suet crust pastry when I am making a nice meat piesmile
I'm running out of my suet I have that I stashed away wink

Thanks

Atora is available on Amazon . com

Suet is basically the fat from a certain part of the cattle, isn't it? Have you asked around your local meat markets?

If you cannot get it e mail m I would be happy to help you out bt sending you some. I make something we call mealie, it's one part suet to to marts oatmeal with a chopped onion, salt and pepper. Bind ingredients with a little water nd wrap in tin foil and pop into the pan along with the mince for about 30 min. Assuming you have mince in your country lol

This might not be much help as I am here and you are there,

Amazon is fine, just go in, set up your account and buy the world.

Suet is a hard fat that occurs around animal organs, I can remember that when you bought kidneys they had a thick layer of suet around them. If you can find an old fashioned butcher he just might be able to help you.

Try a pet shop, suet is a main ingredeant for many bird feeders and lots of people over here like to make their own combinations.

Somewhere out there somewhere is a WW1 British information film about making suet from potato peelings, but I cannot find it, but then I'm not trying very hard.

Gosh how I remember my mothers clouty dumplings with figs in.
