What IS suet exactly? Is it full of transfats?

[virgiltracey]

I have a packet of Atora vegetable suet. Is it really bad? should I use butter instead?

You're the one with the packet? Why not look at the ingredients??

I don't have the box. It was requisitioned at some stage for a junk model spaceship!

I found the bag in the back of the larder cupboard and thought I should use it up.

It is fat.

It isn't a trans fat. Trans fats are fucked about fats.
Suet is just fat

Ah but it's VEGETARIAN suet the OP has pag, goodness knows what's in it.

Oh goodness
Hadn't spotted that it was vegetable suet - googling took 20 seconds.
It is hydrogenated oil. So bad.

you want proper suet, fat trimmed from around kidneys, nom hydrogenated gubbins.
Mmmm, suet.
