Etymology
The word 'suet' comes from Middle English 'sewet' and Old French 'suet', which is derived from Latin 'sebum', meaning 'fat'. The use of suet in cooking dates back centuries, especially in British cuisine, where it has been a staple ingredient due to its availability and favorable cooking properties. Traditionally, it was used in the preparation of rustic dishes, such as pies and puddings, providing a rich flavor and moistness. Its use is often associated with hearty, comforting meals, particularly in colder climates. Today, while suet is less common in modern cooking, it retains its place in traditional recipes and is available in shops for enthusiasts of classic culinary techniques.
