Suet

Suet is the white layer of fat surrounding the kidneys of beef and sheep. The fat is used in certain traditional English dishes such at puddings or steak and kidney pie. Given it is high in saturated fat it is not very popular and quite hard to find in many areas. Ask you butcher and you can purchase large chunks of fat or sometimes shredded pieces.
