Suet pudding
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals are ashamed of their own nationality. In left-wing circles it is always felt that there is something slightly disgraceful in being an Englishman and that it is a duty to snigger at every English institution, from horse racing to suet puddings. It is a strange fact, but it is unquestionably true that almost any English intellectual would feel more ashamed of standing to attention during God save the King than of stealing from a poor box." --"England Your England", George Orwell, first published in The Lion and the Unicorn: Socialism and the English Genius (1941) |

A suet pudding is a boiled, steamed or microwaved pudding (in the British sense of pudding meaning "dessert") made with suet (beef or mutton fat), flour, bread crumbs, raisins, and spices.
Many variations are strongly associated with British cuisine. Recipes vary greatly and can be desserts or savoury courses. They are typically boiled or steamed, though some baked variations and recipes adapted for microwave ovens exist.
Examples include spotted dick, Christmas pudding, treacle pudding, clootie, jam roly-poly and many others. Savoury versions include rabbit, chicken, game and steak and kidney pudding.
The Paignton pudding was also a variation of suet pudding.
