Please can I correct this, as it 's not what I said.

Beef suet is what is sold in the UK and used to make plum puddings with.

Thanks

Haven't heard that name in thirty-five years.  I had dinner with the late
Euell Gibbons back then, when we had hosted him to give a talk.  I remember
him telling us a story about receiving a call from a right wing survivalist
group in New York City who wanted him to come give a talk about what to eat
after the nuclear holocaust.  When he informed them that everything would
be equally contaminated, they still thought he should be able to give them
some sort of advice.  "In that case," he said, "I would simply squat down,
stick my head between my legs, and kiss my ass good-bye."
