Spotted Dick?

How have I never heard of this before?

Saw it at the grocery store. Isn't about time to change the name? I would've bought it, but it was 6 bucks.

2. You can get it for less at your local Indian market, if they have any Brit imports.

15. I can't imagine eating bread pudding out of a can, so I'd

strictly buy it for funnies! But 6 bucks for a good laugh? May be worth it!!

3. I believe, Madam...

.
...that is British cuisine with which you are flashing us.
.
So the price probably isn't because it's a spectacular dick... only an imported one.
.
Lemme say this VERY carefully... just another un--DOCK--umented alien.

9. Sort of, but it has Sultanas and Raisins in it - hence the 'Spots'. We

used to get it at least once a week for dessert at school. My mum makes it the best though!

38. Baked Beans - Yes. 'Beans on Toast' is still one of my fave supper

treats. Also, we ate them with breakfast - Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Fried Bread and Baked Beans - yum!!!

pick up a can of beans and say...
Beans means Heinz"

46. I have had a Londoner visiting musician make up bubble and squeak

and I really liked that - reminded me of some stuff my mom made many years ago when I was a kid, but I have no idea what she called it...I think it was a recipe that came out of the depression to use up extra stuff, but it was really good.

I have also had bangers and mash and I love that stuff!!!

54. Bubble and Squeak isn't a 'recipe'...

Edited on Sun May-02-10 09:56 PM by jannyk

...it's yesterdays leftover mashed potatoes and yesterday's leftover 'greens' (any leftover green cabbage like veggie - brussels sprouts are particularly good).

Mix mash with greens - fry in a little butter. As it cooks, the mash 'bubbles' and the greens 'squeak'. Try it with A1 Sauce - yum!

Treacle pudding?

6. Discussing an upcoming Thanksgiving, making plans with my sister...

a British friend with us asked what she should bring.

'oh, anything that is a dish that means HOLIDAY to you'

'Lovely. I'll bring spotted dick!'

our various husbands (her's is a yank too) all sorta stopped, looked at each other, somewhat puzzled, until one said, finally: "Sounds like something you see a doctor for!"

Oh, and 'Melly, if you're reading DU... :hi:

Of course, I find potty humor and sexual humor really funny. I could grow up, but what would be the fun in that?

17. I was trying to explain the dual use of the word "cock" to a french woman...

When she said, "So it's not a good idea to go into an American restaurant and say, I would like to eat cock?"

My wife nearly choked to death.

35. Damn, that is funny.

The image comes to mind.

I had some spotted dick when I was the Army.

One of my Army buddies had a English mother, she would send him cans of the stuff.

I didn't like it.
