Don't know if this proves I'm going girlie (or Commie) in old age.
But I honestly can't tell the difference between a dumpling made from veggie suet and the real thing. Must be all that nutritious hydrogenation they do.

I only ever see suet in seed-covered blocks to put out for birds. Never see kidneys. Maybe we ship them over to someone who'd appreciate them.
You can buy chitterlings (chitlins) at our local market, along with snoots. Chitlins involves some strong-smelling food preparation that you'd probably need to have grown up with to even try. I've never been in white folks' house that had a pot going. This is soul food, served with stewed collards.
Brain sandwich is a local delicacy that I'm too delicate to try.
Ann, I'll try Mrs. Beeton's custard version from the internet. I like this little authenticity touch:
Average cost: 4d.
And this:
Time - To be stirred in the jug from 8 to 10 minutes.
Thanks for warning about curdling!

British Food is Bad - Myth or Reality?
That British food is bad has long been the butt of jokes for its supposed poor food, lack of imagination, stodgy puddings and weak tea.

Not specific to the UK, but every bit as tempting:

Kidneys and suet and other various bits of various animals widely available here in Atlanta, but you do have to know where to look for them.

I like to make Steak & Kidney pudding with suet - Not the old beef suet I used to watch being boiled off the entrails in the butcher shop on our farm - but the vegetarian version called
ATORA light Vegetable suet.
I think it's really nice and believe you can get it all over the UK. Mine however is imported and costs an arm & a leg.

"North America can really only boast of Mexican food, and the even better Northern New Mexican."
Nonsense. North American food is far superior to british slop. SOME british food is good, most is slop, I know I've been there done that. North american food is much more varied, southern cooking, northern cooking, midwest, californian, various states, and yes different types of partial mexican-american food as well as various canadian provinces and parts of canada. Most euros think only of Mcdonald's but it's so much more. Like I said, most british food is well slop, you brits need to thank your foreigners for good food.lol

Hell's bells, here you are again corli. A cut and paste from the London dos and dont'ts thread or vice versa. Let the moths out of your wallet next time, get a life and enjoy yourself abroad. Try to make your next post interesting and useful.

ATORA light Vegetable suet.
sorry tod, I checked, and both wiki and recipes4us agree that beef suet as used to make suet pud is not boiled but grated from the fat surrounding the kidney. apparently it IS boiled if you want to make tallow candles.
so now you know.
the vegetable suet is made from palm oil or similar.
I only use it cos the animal version makes DS throw up. there are no other differences that I can find.
regards, ann
