I've seen that in the Jewish section of supermarket aisles. I think the 
Jews have switched to Crisco since it;s pareve. What you do see more 
frequently is lard (manteca) used in Hispanic cooking.

My mother would make suet pudding for Christmas. I guess she believed in 
truth in advertising since a similar desert is called 'plum pudding' 
despite there being no plums involved. A guest had two helpings and asked 
for the recipe of the delicious stuff. When she started with 'You take 2 
pounds of suet..' he excused himself. Sound of retching could be heard 
from the bathroom. 

Looking back a plateful swimming in hard sauce was a little rich. It was 
washed down with several rounds of Angel Tips, crème de cacao with heavy 
cream floated on top. Good thing Christmas only came once a year.
