💡 What's interesting
Culturally, it's a classic example of British 'comfort food' and historical working-class sustenance, designed to be filling and calorically dense. Nutritionally, the suet (hard fat from lamb or beef kidneys) creates a uniquely light, crumbly pastry texture distinct from butter-based doughs.
