Suet and the Vegetarian Diet

Suet is a hard white fat found around the loins and kidneys of animals, particularly cattle and sheep. It is known for its high melting point and ability to produce a flaky texture, making it ideal for certain culinary applications such as puddings, pastries, and dumplings. Traditionally, suet is used in British cuisine for dishes like Christmas pudding and mincemeat.
