Thanks for remembering! As it happens, I learned that an acquaintance at
work is from somewhere in Yorkshire. She put me onto a local butcher who
will order fresh kidney suet on request and grind it. I got a small quantity
last month to make a suet pudding and ordered another five pounds of it
today. June Fawthrop, on uk.food+drink.misc, posted her mincemeat recipe
today on my request of her husband, Dave. I will use her recipe and I think
I will also make a batch of Delia Smith's Christmas Mincemeat. June's sounds
really good!
