National Rag Pudding Week

March 18th to March 24th is National Rag Pudding week in the UK.

Rag pudding is a northern delicacy made with beef suet, stewing beef, kidney and onion.

The stewing beef, kidney and onion are encased in a flour/beef suet 'crust', and the whole thing wrapped in a piece of old cloth and boiled in a pan of water for 3 hours. An old t-shirt, muslin, or even a pair of jockey shorts work just fine for the cloth.

So celebrate National Rag Pudding week by going out and buying the stuff and meckin a puddin.

You can buy the beef suet at Amazon.com or any of that old bird feeder suet works just fine, mixed with plain flower and water.
