I think this question may have been asked before but.......Can you get suet over here, I live in Dunedin and have not been able to find any, I was hoping to make a Christmas Pud (a bit late I know).... Any assistance gratefully received

there was a thread on this recently and the answer was yes but its called something else.

hang on and i'll find it

here we go - from veronica on the "which food item do you miss most" thread

some one on here mentioned not being able to get suet. I buy it in countdown of the shelf (not in the fridge part) and its called shreddo, quality shortening. It is packaged in a container that looks identical to margarine. Would imagine its in all the supermarkets and its just a case of knowing where to look.

Thank you very much... We shall eat pudding after all...Yaayyyyyy

I was the person bemoaning a lack of suet - and I have to say Shreddo is not really what I was expecting. It isn't like the fatty type of suet you get from the butchers at all. I prefer to grate butter still.
I have made mincemeat this year using a Nigella Lawson recipe that utilises grated apples for the moistness. (Better for the waistline too.)
