Mince did have beef and suet in it. It goes way way back to the 15th century and earlier. It's hard to find the good stuf with suet in it and used to go up to Canada to get it. I like the jarred Nonsuch brand.
My mom always made steamed plum puddings with suet in them. So darn good. Now I get those in Canada but can't find them with real suet. Too lazy to make my own.
So many of those old traditions hark back to the Medieval times. Of course they ate stuff like Dormice and swan's tongues too. Glad some things didn't get handed down.
