Spotted dick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Spotted dick and custard
A tin of Heinz brand Spotted DickSpotted dick is a steamed pudding, containing dried fruits, usually currants. The dessert originates in and continues to be especially popular in the United Kingdom, usually served either with custard or with butter and brown sugar. Spotted refers to the currants (which resemble spots) and dick may be a contraction/corruption of the word pudding (from the last syllable) or possibly a corruption of the word dough. It is also known as spotted dog, plum duff, figgy dowdy, as well as plum bolster, and Spotted Richard.

7. No Such
ever read the Harry Potter books? "Spotted Dick" is mentioned in one of them as an item at the dinner table. Until this thread, I'd never known what it actually was...and never gave it much thought, either...given the weirdness of British food, anyway.

I mean...come on...steak and kidney pie?? bleah!! Blood and tongue?? bleah!!

About the only good British food I know is fish and chips...there's one they got right!! OK...that and a nice strong cup of English tea...there's just one other thing they do well.
