Suet can make a huge difference to a dish. The pastry is like nothing else. Sadly last time I wanted some it proved very difficult to source. Some of the so called butchers even asked me what it was. Utterly disgraceful!

Fully second this. Make friends with a good macelleria - or order it online. I agree that NOTHING compares to suet in a dish that calls for it.
