Etymology

The word 'suety' derives from the Middle English term 'suet', which refers to the rendered fat of sheep or cattle. This term has its roots in Old French 'suet', which is linked to the Latin word 'sebum', meaning 'fat'. Historically, suet has been a significant part of traditional cooking, particularly in British cuisine, where it is often used to create dishes like puddings or savory meats. The word reflects the culinary practice of incorporating animal fats into recipes, a common method in many cultures to create rich flavors and satisfying textures. As diets and food preferences evolved, the connotation of 'suety' has varied, with some considering it indulgent while others regard it as excessive and less healthy.
