MessageHey Jim...that sounds like an interesting idea...the dried flakes. But
did you try fresh chopped peppers? Did that work at all? I'm just curious.
Also, there's a "bird cookbook" called My Recipes are for the Birds, by Irene
Cosgrove. It's easy to get (I got mine at Barnes&Nobles) and has lots of suet
ideas and recipes, amongst other things.

Subject: [va-richmond-general] An adaptation of John Coe's recipe?
I found John Coe's suet recipe on the web. Maybe it's better to make the
stuff at home than to go to the store to get it, particularly if the store is
over 10 miles away.
I am wondering how to get hot pepper in the suet. I am afraid that if I
make John Coe's recipe, then squirrels will eat it all up. Wild Birds Unlimited
told us that the squirrels will not eat hot pepper suet or plain suet, but the
birds go for it like it was crazy or something. We tried both kinds. Squirrels
gobble up the plain suet. However, they will not eat hot pepper suet but the
birds will. However, this suet is about 20 miles from us on Midlothian
Turnpike. No local place sells hot pepper suet; all they sell is what I call
squirrel suet.
So I am wondering how to get hot pepper into John Coe's recipe. Can I just
mix hot chilis into it? Or hot red pepper flakes?
