I wonder if whale blubber would do?

Suet is the fat trimmed from around kidneys
Suet
so abbatoirs will have it - the link indicates that nowadays it is removed before the butcher gets the carcass

Oh my word that was the worst job I ever had to do when I first started as an Apprentance (sp) Butcher when I left school. The sfuff used to flake all over the place and smell...........................

But is sold like hot cakes though (this was early/mid 70's)

Eric, I pity you living in a suet-poor country. There are all those suet puddings, as well, that you're missing out on. Is the steak pudding completely unknown in Canada?

No its not traditional West Ender, but there's a lot of things in lanky that are not traditional but they're good. I love the crust on home made tatta pie, like mi granny used to make, and I'd die (not literally) for one of her steak puddngs in't rag.

Is it ok for you to eat? Would be a bit concerned about eating something from a pet store

It does take a leap of faith doesn't it?
but when you think what junk gets served up for human consumption, I think I would risk it
