SC - Shredding suet - was Christmas pudding experiment.

[Philip & Susan Troy]

hello,

I dont mean to seem overly naive, but, ummm.... couldnt one use a small hand
held grater like the ones they use for parmesean <sp?> cheese?  I have had
the 'delight' of using a box grate and know the consequences of said *evil*
device.  or maybe a 'salad shooter'?  It would still produce the same
overall effect of grating the suet.. but might be a bit less...  physically
debilatating.

Just some thoughts from a noviciate (SCA) cook.
