Had a lovely Beef with Boddingtons and dumplings stew on monday. Bought a packet of bisquick for the dumplings, threw in some herbs and half a cup of water and viola! Perfect dumplings.

Dumb question, but is suet different there than here? I mean, I see suet in the market often...especially in the fall- when people put it out for birds. Is beef fat that different over there? Have you asked a butcher here for it?

Does that make anyone else here's taste buds tingle
On a slightly different note. Has anyone tried Aunt Bessies frozen Roasted Potatoes or Yorkshire puds. A few years back, when in UK, some friends used both and I thought they were AWESOME (before I even knew they were frozen).
I came back and worked on my own "frozen" roasties recipe and it actually worked.... You can make a big batch and freeze them... They take justr 25-30 mins from Frozen to reheat - they come out real crispy and delicous. Let me know if you want the recipe. It was fun experimenting. Maybe I should market them as Uncle Franks

Hey franc11s
I know the whole thing has moved on a bit since you start the topic, but I noticed your comment on Aunt Bessies tatties and puds. Well just in case you want them again, I noticed a few packs of these at the "Taste of Britain" in Norcross (was out there earlier today and they have some in stock). Don't know the address, but the shop is opposite the Train Station on the main street in Norcross.
Also noticed your entry on the Pataks subject. I have heard about the Indian store that sells food in Atlanta, but being new here do you have the address?
cheers
