stew and dumplings

Winter is on the way and I was thinking of making stew, but I don`t know if you can buy suet here. Does anyone know if you can buy it, and what its called in German, can you get veggy suet too.
Any ideas

talg is what you need if I am not mistaken. (Perhaps narrowed down to nieren talg)

talg

edit: Not found any vegetairian in the internet though, but you could ask at the Reformhaus of your vertrauen if they have any.

is the instant version talgum powder?

In the (mobile) english shop where I am going tonight, you can get some ... if you are in NRW, you may also be able to visit them ..

Have fun at the English shop, don't chat up Charmaine too much!

@Suzi, we've got two things in common, the name and vegginess!

As opposed to what native american indians use... scalpum powder.

you can even Talg to me

some interesting things on that page, stuffing balls!?!?!?

We are lazy and just buy Knödel in the little plastic bags which you heat through in warm water and then let cool for a short while.

Suet is Nierentalg.

Knödel yuck! Its just not the same as real dumplings...

Try out the English Shop in Cologne web site www.english-shop.com - smashing shop if you can get there and even if prices are high compared to England it's a great option if you don't get back home very often.
