Suet
 

Anyone come across packets of shredded beef suet please?

Can't seem to find it in supermarkets unless it's called something else in Aus.

Re: Suet
 

no - but my sister just text to say that woolies in corrimal now stock pg tips, mushy peas, curry sauce and birds custard powder. result!

Re: Suet
 

But I can't make a steam pasty with those things :lol:

Re: Suet
 

You might have to render your own - ask your butcher for the fat and just simmer/melt then strain it. We have heaps of the stuff here.

I managed to get atora vegetarian suet from syds pies, a Scottish butcher in Brisbane, I wasn't sure it would work as well as beef suet but it was fine when I made dumplings with it, maybe you could try them they have a website although I'm not sure if you can order online

As if I didn't have anything else to do :cool:

Re: Suet
 

use butter del

pop it in the freezer and grate it into your mix works fine with dumplings

Re: Suet
 

Yep Tandaco in Woolworths as well and in green and yellow packet think it's in same aisle as cake mix...:blink:

Re: Suet
 

All Coles have their own little bit of shelving with "foreign foods" too but it seems to depend on where you live as to which "foreign" it will be. I went to my local Coles last night at Caringbah looking for a few home treats and the "foreigners" there seem to be Kiwis, no Pommy food. :sneaky: So I called into Franklins at Taren point and their "foreign" food is all South African!!

I had to make do with some McVities chocolate Digestives......

I have never seen suet here, mind you can't say as I ever went looking for it LOL!! Dumplings in this weather!! :eek:

Re: Suet
 

definatly

Re: Suet
 

Just been shopping and picked up a packet in Coles.
Yep green and yellow box and was in their cake mix section too.

Many thanks.:)

Re: Suet
 

Much obliged Lesley.:thumbup:

Now what would you be doing if you weren't looking after me. :p

Re: Suet
 

Caaaaw, that sounds very tempting Steve.

Don't have much butter since Gill put me on that polywhatitsname stuff.

Re: Suet
 

I read that to say "aorta" suet :lol: Not very vegetarian.
Oh my God that sounds so delicious. My grandma used to make snakes & pygmies pudding when I was little. My mother could never make it anywhere near as tasty, though. I may need your recipe.

Re: Suet
 

But suet is animal fat the same as butter. Don't know how you will find the stuff you bought because I think if you look at it closely is is a mix not just suet

Re: Suet
 

Now that does sound lovely I have to say, but maybe not today in this heat thanks :)

Re: Suet
 

Correct :)
It's a mix with main constituents 44% suet and 52% flour.

I think the original Atora is 85% suet and 15% flour.

Re: Suet
 

Is there a technical term for the science of suet?

Re: Suet
 

Lesley, can you nip out and get me Duck Fat? I forgot today and can't be arsed to go out tomorrow. Many thanks.

Re: Suet
 

It has to be suetology.:cool:

Re: Suet
 

Bit last minute :eek: I had to send it by pigeon post. I said it was OK for them to drop everything straight into your swimming pool. Better than having you wait in all afternoon I thought.

Re: Suet
 

Bugger, forgot I asked you. Went out and got it myself. Never mind, can never have too much. The amount it's raining, I'll find it down in the creek sometime.
