Sally...<BR><BR>To the total disgust of vegetarians all over the world suet is a fatty, tallow-like by product, generally from beef or mutton. It is “hard” fat around the kidneys and, I believe, loins. Basically you can think “lard” in appearance and in “food value,” though suet really isn’t all that greasy. It is NOT health food, I assure you, but oddly enough, like most all fats, it can be prepared in surprisingly tasty ways. I flipped for suet dumplings cooked with roast beef…until I found out what they were made from.

Say what you will about suet, you simply cannot make a decent sp. dick without it. When I run short, there's always the suet post out back, but good lord, it a risk trying to tear off some of that stuff with the peckers buzzing about. As already noted, shades of Alfred. Would it be callow of me to suggest Emeril might say suet rules! I know around our house when I hear the cry we want dick, I know it's suet time.

is this anything like "Tricky Dick," back in the bad old days? I was in San Clemente many years ago and think that I spotted Dick and I spotted Pat as well. Moments later I was spotted by a pigeon. A leopard can't change his spotted dick.
