There was a good item on fish and chips in a recent BBC cookbook by two guys named Tony and Georgio - beer batter, definitely.

Suet is the fat from round the kidneys of cattle. Dripping is the fat which drains out of the meat during roasting - (if you collect it in a pot, and a little gravy sits under it when it cools, and you spread it on bread and eat it....childhood confort food - I feel hungry.....and you don't get as much from joints now!) - but butchers, and supermarkets, sell dripping which is white and clean, and probably indistinguishable from suet which has been melted and resolidified in the tubs they sell it in.
