My god, Soreen. If I was imprisoned in a cell made of foot-thick walls of that stuff and you told me I had to eat my way out, I'd reduce it to a shell an inch thick. It's a good thing I don't live where I can get that stuff, or I'd be as big as a house now. Do I like it? Um, it's not that... it just kind of, you know, seduces me into eating it. With fresh butter. Gah.

As for spotted dick... I would like to try making it, and also clootie dumpling... where DO you find suet?

Probably easier to find a tin of Spotted Dick in America than the UK. I assume the novelty value sells a few tins.

The British Isles in Rice Village Houston always used to have suet, not been for a while so not sure if they still do.
