Never having made bread pudding, but having tried and enjoyed a
"southern" version with raisins and diced apples, I have 2 questions...

What does the suet do for the pudding, and can it just as easily be left
out?

What sort of "peel"? (This may sound silly to Englishmen, but I haven't
heard of "peel" as an ingredient.)
