Yes Royboy, I know that.......and beef dripping was rendered down from any fat from the beef animal, it was only the fat around the kidneys that was defined as suet. I worked for Slingers back in the sixties so I used to sell it in the shop....butchers did sell lard, but it came pre-wrapped. Beef dripping was in metal basins and cut out in lumps to be weighed before sale.
