OMG
Since i'm english born, bred and buttered, that is actually something that i would normally see on my supermarket shelves. But then when i moved to Oz i realized how brave British people really are, i still remember my grandma shouting "hey Matt do you want some Spotted Dick after dinner!" Now everytime i rock up at my Scout meetings i get the same barage of jokes about English people eating dick etc...
For those of you who live in England (you rock!) don't ever visit Australia or the US without being prepared to cop a whole lotta crap about spotted dick.
Still, its good to laugh at!!
Another Matt ramble

Joe, if your book is anywhere near as good as that response, I can't wait to read it!

Hmmm. Couldn't it already be considered a can opener?

um, I'd prefer to have it NOT spotted, and certainly NOT canned!!
It's a dessert
A steamed pudding. The spots are rasins or currants.
Homemade s-d can be pretty good. I think I would give a pass on tinned, however.

I can only revert to the 13 year old welled up inside of me
Hehehe hehehehe huhuhuh huhuhuh huhuhuhhuhuh he said "dick" HEH HEHEH HEH HEH HEHEH HEH HEH HEH HEH
It's probably tasty if it has pudding and raisins in it. I'm sure homemade is much better.

You all realize, of course, . . .
. . . that some marketing genius will tweak the recipe to please American palates without changing the name, and overnight it will become the "in" nosh at A-list bashes in Hollywood and WashDeeCee, not to mention Hyannisport ("Ted and Ahnold may differ on politics but nothing brings these famous in-laws together like a big portion of Spotted Dick").
Can you say "garage full of Lamborghinis"?

A dessert for finer palates
Ok, I get the raisins for the "spotted" part, but where does the other half of the name come from?

P.S. Saw the above "confection" in Grand Cayman and was tempted to buy it. However I settled for the "Cock Soup" instead. Haven't tried that either. FEH!

Take a look at a typical recipe for Spotted Dick. It's basically a bigass steamed biscuit with raisins in it. Served with a custard sauce or treacle or something, which I guess is where "flavor" enters the equation.
Thank you, no. I'll take my pudding in Butterscotch, and my Dick in, er, uhm...never mind.

Oh, and P.S. Wouldn't this make a grand Secret Santa gift?

Cock Soup is sold in most of the grocery stores around here in the ethnic sectons. Haven't bought any. It's kind of funny because being a bird breeder and attending shows, clubs etc male birds are always referred to as the cock and the female is the hen, no one other than newbies or people not into birds really thinks twice about it, but you always here giggles from them.
Oh please, its just chicken soup. But it talkes a longer boil to soften the meat.
When I was over in the UK last spring, I was visiting a friend and his BF in London we went to this Irish Pub for lunch. A great place not far from Buckingham Palace. I had a great meal something I would call shepherds pie here and warm beer. Since the beer is warm you can get buzzed rather quickly. He then said we can share a "spotted dick" for dessert, you have to try it. Then laughed at me, I must have had a strange look on my face. Well it is a great dessert. My description is : A warm spice cake with raisins and currants and I thought some kind of nuts too, covered by a hot white cream sauce, similar to melted vanilla icing. I have been searching for a recipe for it. If you get past the name, it is something I would really reccomend you try. I am not sure about the canned version though. This placed made a great one and homemade is best.

Cock soup nothing. Cock gumbo baby!!!!! Well, haven't tried rooster but I'm sure it needs to boil a LONNNGG time to get it tender. More than this cajun is willing to wait.
We have a saying about older women here in cajun country. Da gumbo tastes betta wit an older hen (English: Older women make better lovers.)
