I just bought 3 kilos of suet, as in the real kidney fat stuff, 5.50 euros a kilo. Took them some asking around but they found a source. I am fortunate to have a good butchers shop out here in the sticks. I still need to wait until June before I can pick it up though.

Didn't they used to fry french fries in this stuff in McD up until the 80s? Or was that just ordinary beef fat? Either way it's something I wanna try. I am also thinking suet might be good for frying donuts and other things.
