Hello Stefan.  

Sorry to confuse you....  I learned about suet puddings in Britain, and  
automatically associated the British term "mince" and "mincer" with suet 
rather than the term that would be more generally known.  

I mean that you'd put the suet through a meat grinder ;-), that silvery metal 
kind of thingy that you clamp to the table, which has a handle to turn as you 
process the meat or suet through it...   or use a grinder attachment for an 
electric mixer.  :-)

The texture isn't too fine.  The suet just looks like a white crumblier 
version of the texture of ground (or minced) beef.

Hope that unconfused things now :-)
