Texsox Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 My grocery store has these specialty items and I was browsing, and saw that and had to double and triple check. I'm wondering of DePloder has a special recipe for spotted dick or just prefers it hot out of the microwave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 ^^^^^^^^^^^ QOTM. Now everyone walk into Jewel and ask them where the Heinz Spotted Dick is . . . from wiki Spotted Dick is a steamed suet pudding containing dried fruit, usually currants. The dessert is 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 corruption of the word dough. Most recipes for spotted dick include the following: * White bread crumbs * Self-raising flour * Shredded suet * Raisins or currants * Salt * Nutmeg * Ginger * Mace * Citrus fruit peel * Eggs * Brandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 A traditional pudding which was renamed after hospital managers thought patients would be too embarrassed to ask for it, is being restored to Gloucestershire's hospital menus. 'Spotted Dick' will replace 'Spotted Richard' after it was decided patients are capable of overcoming their blushes long enough to ask for it. For those that accused me of not knowing dick . . .
