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.

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!

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

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

use butter del

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

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

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. 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!!

definatly
steak n kidney cooked in beer with barley and dumplings yummmy

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.

Much obliged Lesley.

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

Caaaaw, that sounds very tempting Steve.

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

I read that to say "aorta" suet 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.
