Suet is the fat trimmed from around kidneys

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

Don't think I would somehow, would quite happily send some over rather than Eric taking a risk

Starving Canadians Need food packages .... that's kinda funny

But it is strange that one can get all kinds of ethnic foods here .... for example, if you are Portuguese (Kingson has a large number of people of Portuguese descent) you have no trouble getting large slabs of salt cod, or spicy sausage, or squid. Also Italian food, Greek food, East Indian food etc, etc .... but English "ethnic" ... forget it .... except for fish and chips. Can also get moose, deer, pemmican, buffalo ... but no god damned suet ..... unless you are a bird
