    Oh my God! Was going to post this yesterday but just didn’t get round to it.

    Made a beef stew yesterday with herb dumpling.

    Bit into a dumpling and it tasted seriously odd.... as did the rest of the stew. When I checked the what was unopened bag of Atora suet I saw it had a best before dat of 2016.

    Ended up having to throw the whole lot out inc. £16 worth of beef.

    Advice chuck the out of date suet!!

    I agree, but maybe yours was beef suet & not the veggie one?

    However for the price of a packet of suet not worth the risk of spoiling a meal
