• quietone said on Sep 08, 2008....

  hahaha........ I have no idea but it would be fun to bring to a party! 

• kruuyai said on Sep 08, 2008....

  lol... reminds me of when I was studying geology and noticed on a topo map of (Montana?) a hill and a stream and maybe a valley that all sported the name "Bloody Dick."

• botoni said on Sep 08, 2008....

  I dunno MimiDoll, Spotted Dick just doesnt quite sound all that appetizing to me.   Any sort of dick in a can seems way to canabalistic in my mind.  Are we headed into a conversation about eating dick?

• MissMimi said on Sep 08, 2008....

  blue -- I think it's a very strange name for a dessert.  You have to admit it's a conversation starter.  ;)

  quilty -- Yep, I can think of a few people who would get a good laugh out of it.

  kruu-ey -- I'd hate to think how it got that name!  In Kentucky (I think) there is a place called Big Bone Lick.  [wiggles eyebrows]

  botoni -- *ahem*  I prefer mine with butter and maple syrup, but there are those who prefer it straight up.  ;)  Your turn.  :D

• uniquely-ironic said on Sep 08, 2008....

  OMG!  That's hilarious that you found it on a grocery aisle.  I've heard about it, but never seen it on a shelf.  I gotta get myself a can just as a conversational piece.

• Fallyn said on Sep 08, 2008....

  um....wow.

• skald said on Sep 08, 2008....

  lol I am just laughing. 

• quietone said on Sep 08, 2008....

  ah, hahahaha.... I just noticed under the picture it says "click to enlarge" ROFLMAO!!!!!

• MissMimi said on Sep 08, 2008....

  quilty -- LOLOL!

  skald -- I'm glad you thought it was funny.  I did too!  :)

  Fallyn -- I know.  That was my first reaction too.

  uni -- I found the pic online at a British import site.  I just googled "spotted dick" which in itself is pretty funny.

• Eilan said on Sep 08, 2008....

  Does it come with a clean bill of health?  I'm leery of dicks with spots.

• Battycat said on Sep 08, 2008....

  Yup, I remember it well from school lunches. Spotted dick and custard, yummy :-)

  Its a suet pudding with dried fruit mixed in, currents, raisins etc

• RollingC said on Sep 08, 2008....

  Gad...some diet you had at school Batty (LOL) .   Rc

• Lucytorial said on Sep 08, 2008....

  Spotted dick was my grannies favourite! (in more ways than one) I remember it well from my childhood.

• lionesss said on Sep 08, 2008....

  well i cant stand spooted dick, ''errrrr'',suet and currents like eating a sweet dumpling, i cant stand suet, but i love currents especially in biscuits,, have you tried it yet?,, what do you think ???~~lionesss x

• wombat said on Sep 08, 2008....

  Never heard of it, but having a good laugh!  It does remind me of some kind of pudding I had years ago, but I can't think what it was.  Doesn't the word "dick" mean "fat" in German? 

• CreativeWoman said on Sep 08, 2008....

  I would have been giggling in the aisle too, Mimi.  :-)  I have to ask...Is it low carb?

• gingersoul said on Sep 08, 2008....

  Mimi....only you....LOL....i have never seen it before....now i will be looking for it everywhere...:-D
  
  But I tend to spot dicks in different aisles generally and i don't like the "canned" ones........LOL........

• hotaka said on Sep 08, 2008....

  I have a story about that. I ordered once in York a treacle fudge because I had read about it in Harry Potter but never actually seen or tasted one. I asked the waiter what a treacle fudge was. He said it was fudge with treacle on it. I said I could guess that but what was treacle? I had never seen it before. After he left I saw on the menu Spotted Dick and I said to K that it was good I hadn't asked him what that was.

• gingersoul said on Sep 08, 2008....

  Hottie......yes......treacle fudge and Potter....i remember. :-)
  
  But what  the heck is treacle??

• hotaka said on Sep 08, 2008....

  It's a honey coloured kind of sweet syrup. It was really good but I ate too much because the portions were so big and I got sick that night and it was New Year's Eve too!

• MissMimi said on Sep 08, 2008....

  Eilan -- you can't be too careful.  A spotted dick can only be bad news.

  Batty -- And this brings up another question.  What is suet?   Spotted dick and custard?  I'm not touching that one with a ten-foot pole.  Uh-uh.  No way.

  Rc -- LOL 

  Lucy -- The can said it was sponge pudding.  Is that a kind of cake?

  lionesss -- I haven't tried it yet, but maybe I'll buy some. 

  wombie -- I'm still laughing.  I don't think I could take it to the check out line with a straight face.  LOL

  CDub -- I have the feeling it's loaded with sugar.  It was on the shelf with candy and treacle.  And I know treacle is  kind of syrup.  Sometimes you can find cool stuff at the grocery store.

  gingerpeach -- You know, we could take this conversation down a very naughty road.  I'm trying to behave, but you know me...  I've only ever seen canned dick.  LOL

  hottie -- Mmmmm  I bet it was tasty.  Fudge anything...  yum.  I wouldn't have had the nerve to ask what spotted dick was.  I know I would start giggling.

• dailyachesandpains said on Sep 08, 2008....

  LMAO!
  I may never say "I could go for some spotted dick!"  but, right about now...ummm...I think I could.  Less the spots of course!

• sammies_place said on Sep 09, 2008....

  Ok...have to ask...suet pudding?  Does that mean they mixed in fats around fruits and bread?  Just curious.

• Battycat said on Sep 10, 2008....

  I'm not a cook but spotted dick is a bit like a fruit sponge pudding, and I think I've even eaten whats in that tin and its sponge, quite safe lol. True spotted dick is suet, its heavier and not as sweet as sponge, oh i can't describe it really.

• Eilan said on Sep 10, 2008....

  My grandma once told me that her grandpa used to eat suet sandwiches on an almost daily basis.  Of course, he also died of a heart attack when he was 54. . .

• queenparanoia said on Sep 11, 2008....

  wahahhahahahha spotted dick!!!!
