I have been given a jar of what appears to be raw pork fat, mixed with garlic, chilli and other spices. I can’t remember what its called but it is a local delicacy, to be eaten spread on bruschetta.

It is delicious – if I switch off the part of my brain that is screaming RAW PORK FAT!

Does anyone know what it’s called? Has anyone else tried it? And is it really raw?

It is probably the part of the fat from above the kidneys that the British use in cooking. Suet! It has a different texture than plain lard.

I've never heard of this before. Ann, what kind food would this be used for? Baking or actually frying something? I'm curious now.

Suet is used in place of butter in many old British recipes. The ones I am familiar are Jam roly poly

These sound so good. Lately I seem to be on a cooking/baking spree. Winter does that to me.
