I never use Copha... it's so unhealthy a spoonful of that would wreck
your arteries!! :)

Other people swear by it of course... but I've enough problems as it
is thanks! :)

It's a saturated fat as is vegetarian suet. Why would the one be worse
than the other?

Good question. Is Palm Oil a saturated fat?? I've never used it before
but from research out on the web it now seems that veg suet is a mix
of Palm Oil and Rice Flour!

I never really checked out what was in the Atora Vegetarian Suet... I
used it *because* it was vegetarian without checking how it was made
or what went into it!

My only excuse is that it was nearly 20 years ago and since then I've
learned to check labels more carefully. :D

LOL fair enough. Veg suet probably isn't any better or worse for you
than copha.

Any fat that is solid at standard room temperature is, or contains a
large percentage of, saturated fat.
