I just noticed that you have added a page on Suet suppliers. I thought it might be interesting for your readers to know that in Sydney you can buy it at David Jones at Bondi Junction. I am not sure if other DJ's stores have it, but it might be worth a try.

I finally found a butcher in Sydney's eastern suburbs that stocks Suet.

Very helpful and friendly men, best to ring to have some put aside as it goes quite quickly at this time of year.

Hi you can get suet from Stapletons butcher at Gymea, in the Sutherland Shire - a long tradition of fine butchery in southern Sydney.
Also this pudding is well worth the effort - so light, dark, rich & YUMMY. Have been telling lots of people about it. Cynthia

NAME Trudy
MESSAGE There is a stall at Victoria market in Melbourne amongst the meal stalls which specialises in offal and has suet on hand. I have bought mine there the last couple of years - he asks how many kilos you want!

Lorna says;
Suet can also be purchased from Largo Butcher

You may have to order a week in advance, and the bonus is that they put it through the mincer so you don't have to grate it, which is a disgusting job!

Message: Brisbane-suet suppliers
Hypermarket Aspley and Woolworths Strathpine have suet closer to Christmas.

I'm told.. available anywhere, as it is a basic ingredient for many dishes. However you DO want beef suet for this pudding, not Goat suet !!!!!

USA

Mrs. Kristin Wickersham writes; I Have discovered beef suet can be gotten from Ukrop's grocery in Richmond, Virginia.
Liz Palmo writes; For your suet suppliers list for the US:,
Rife's Market in Columbus, Ohio (They don't even act like it is an odd request!)

Canada

Sandra Dumaresq writes;
In the Atlantic Provinces in Canada, suet seems to be quite available at two major supermarket chains.  Sobeys carries suet in their frozen meat section. Currently, their supplier is "Tony's"  at the Antigonish Abattoir Ltd. In Antigonish, Nova Scotia, B2G 2L2, Canada.
The other supermarket chain is Loblaws.  Loblaws uses various store names such as Superstore, Loblaws, Dominion, SaveEasy.  Here in Halifax, they also have Tony's suet in their meat freezer cases. Previously, the supermarkets carried suet produced by Maple Leaf Foods which is a large food producer with plants across the country (principally in Ontario, I think);
Update;
I was in another Sobeys supermarket the other day and they had another suet supplier O.H. Armstrong Ltd., Kingston, Nova Scotia, B0P 1RO, Canada.

It has been suggested that if it is necessary to find a substitute for suet, you can take lard, freeze it, and then grate it before putting it into the recipe. The same thing could also be done with vegetable shortening. (this won't however, give you the lighter finish you get with suet)
