I remember, when I was a young girl, and mum made jam roily poly, or spotted dick, it was made using 'real' fresh suet, (sadly very difficult to obtain nowadays as most butchers buy their carcasses 'ready dressed') it was my job to prepare and chop the suet. She would wrap it in a bread wrapper and a clean tea towel then lower it into simmering water. The print on the bread wrapper would always transfer itself to the outside of the pud, and they always seemed to have a white layer before the 'pud' part. No idea what it was but it does not happen with the packet shredded stuff.

Come to think of it, we had roast chicken today, and was going to add the left over breast diced with carotts and peas to a white sauce and make a pie, maybe will make a suet crust?

Re: What are you having for lunch/dinner?

Last week I ordered some 'zip-lok' bags from Amazon, which came from Lakeland along with their catalogue, and earlier this evening I was flicking through and spotted some little shakers of stuff to add to pop corn but cannot recall who it was is obsessed with the stuff. They come in four flavours, but can only recall two atm, chocolate, and cheese&chilli.

DM, since you, like me, are into suet big time, have you ever made and eaten a bacon pudding??? make the suet pastry, roll it out flat, cover it in (streaky) bacon, sprinkle on sage & onion stuffing mix and roll it up in foil/pudding cloth, tie it up in string to seal it tight nand either boil/steam for approx 90 mins or until cooked through - its fabulous!!! and REAL comfort food.

BTW, it was Mark & Rachel who are into pop-corn big time.

Re: What are you having for lunch/dinner?

Well the pie is in the oven, ordinary rough puff pastry I am afraid, had used up suet on last lot of dumplings, to be served with new pots and French beans followed by sugar free strawberry jelly and Elmlea.

Oh, and UJ, my mum also used to make the bacon and onion pudding, there are several versions, and many southern counties lay claim to the 'clanger', which canbe made either mixing the pre-cooked bacon and onions etc to the dry pudding mix before adding liquid,then wrapping in grease proof and a cloth or you can make the pastry, roll it out, add the bacon onion mix and roll up like Swiss roll and again wrap and steam/simmer/bake.
