I have always been a bit of an animal suet devotee - more flavour I always think. I tend to buy a small jar of shop mincemeat to make mince pies with if I know someone is coming over who is vegetarian, and make my homemade mincemeat with animal suet.
I would like opinions on whether this is a waste of time and whether I should just do my homemade batch with vegetarian suet. I hadn't realised vegetarian suet is made with palm oil... which I'm not too happy about, although the meat industry is not exactly much better for the planet.
Related to this... if I'm serving up mince pies or other beef suet mincemeat foodstuffs without knowing the food preferences of everyone in the room, should I warn people? When I was vegetarian it was more about not enjoying meat that much. I wouldn't really have cared about eating meat products in things like cakes or pies. I think though that's probably just me and that IABU not to say something.
