Er....

Why?

First of all, suet is not made from deer fat. Suet is the fat from around a
cow's kidneys (and nowhere else). Second, *any* fat may be 'tried' (melted
down and filtered through cheesecloth or similar) to remove impurities) and
then cooled into a solid form for whatever use you like. But it won't be
suet (and deer fat has a terrible mouth-feel, similar to mutton-fat, and
isn't very suitable for cooking for humans).

What did you want to do with it? And if you don't mind me asking, what does
it have to do with pregnancy?

Ewww....I didn't know people ate stuff like that anymore. I live in NZ, land
of cows, sheep deer etc and here we use butter, or monounsaturated
margarine. I don't know anyone under 75 who would even buy lard, unless it
was for a bird feeder.
I can see what it has to do with pregnancy though, I know I feel a morning
sickness post coming on.

Well, the only things I know *some* people use suet for would be suet
pudding or maybe mince or mincemeat pie (fruit only, or fruit plus meat).
That's pretty much a Christmas thing, though. I don't know what someone
would use it for at any other time of year, except to feed birds.

Lard is great for making pastry and for roasting potatoes and
Yorkshire puddings. Suet is vital for good dumplings. I also like
haggis and black pudding...

I can feel it coating my arteries just talking about it ;-)

It's really pretty much the same as butter, nutritionally. They're all just
solid animal fats.

I'm pretty sure butter is less saturated though. We don't use any of them,
but I do like those spreads made with sunflower or canola oil blended with
buttermilk. They're only about 55-60% fat, but they taste just like butter.
Only problem is because they're nice, I tend to use more than a regular
ordinary tasting margarine. Can't really win on that one.

Oddly enough, butter has more saturated fat and cholesterol than lard does, per
http://ianrpubs.unl.edu/foods/nf61.htm . Suet isn't listed, but beef tallow is,
and it's between butter and lard.

Gosh, imagine a lard campaign -- "As always, half the cholesterol of butter!"
;-)

Not only that, but for frying you actually use less lard than butter or
refined vegetable oil. Due to dietary intolerances, we use lard and olive
oil as our primary cooking fats. I was amazed how much more vegetable oil
it took to prevent sticking problems when we used some at a relative's.
