Who has tasted Spotted Dick?

This is either going to get real good or real bad.

Not me. Sounds like it might be really ugly and when it tastes bad I'm a spitter. I better pass.

We're going to the UK in September, Bob, so do you want me to pick you up a can while we're there? You can decide for yourself if it's yummy.

I can take it or leave it.

...how could you stop laughing long enough to actually eat it?

Bob...stick to brownies!

OMG...you don't think Teresa finally got tired of John, do you????

OMG, when I was in the UK, they tried to get me to eat that, but it sounded like Mad Cow Disease in a can.

Ok, so the question is....who's had Spotted Dick?

:funn::funn::funn:

I can't stop laughing!!!!

Like Cheering, I've got to get nasty tastes out but it's more like.... :sick:

Now, who the heck has tried this????

I am now a vegetarian, can I make the assumption that "Dick" is not made from animal meat? And that there are no animal "parts" involved, spotted, dick, or otherwise?

The can doesn't look like they tried real hard to get someone to buy it.....

This is what it's made from, and yes, there are animal products (suet).


285g (10oz) Self-Raising Flour
150g (5oz) Shredded Suet
150ml (? pint) Milk
110-160g (4-6oz) Currants or Raisins
85g (3oz) Castor Sugar
1 Lemon, zest only, finely grated
Pinch Salt
Mix all of the dry ingredients, including the grated lemon zest, together thoroughly
Add enough milk to produce a soft dough.
Turn out onto a floured surface.
Roll out the mixture to produce a roll approximately 15cm (6 in) long and 5cm (2 in) in diameter.
Prepare either a tea towel lightly dusted with flour, or sheet of kitchen foil or a double thickness of greaseproof paper, brushed with melted butter.
Wrap loosely but securely, leaving enough space for it to rise.
Tie or seal the ends.
Place in the steamer and cover tightly.
Steam for 1? to 2 hours.
Serve cut into thck slices with hot custard.

Really, the most titillating thing about it is the name. It's mostly sold to American tourists who bring it home to foist off on unsuspecting friends.

Bob, I had it, but it was homemade, not from the can. I brought it home as a goof gift. I liked it, but I was imbibing when I had it. Can't say that I would have it again.

It contains suet, so if you like the hard beef fat around the loins, smothered in cinnamon, brown sugar, custard and dried fruits, you might like it.

You'd be an idiot not to right?

Dang It won't let me rep you! You so need to be repped.

Figured SGB would have beaten you to the punch.
Something tells me this thread is going to be like the omb thread. Where's Toots?

Is this yummy??

...what's not to like? It sounds like a version of our fruitcake with a much better name!

This thread's also proof that we'll talk about anything in the Lounge.

Who's had Spotted Dick? I'm really glad that you did put "a" in there after the word "had"!

Oops...did NOT put "a" in there after the word "had"!

Was that a Freudian slip?

Wow, another great thread. THis board is on the ball lately!!!

I haven't tasted it. But I did lick a boy nicknamed Stinky Leon in the third grade, on a dare. It resulted in a trip to the office and they called my mother. I've sworn off that sort of thing since then.

Stinky Leon is my uncle! You could be my gotothebeachAunt!

PS I wish I could rep you twice for this!

Talk about, Six Degrees of Separation!

No offense to you or your Uncle Stinky, I hope it's not the same person! :funn: This kid was whacked! Of course, I licked him. so........:scratch: I'm not sure if my mother was so because I did it and got in trouble, or because it was ol' Stinky Leon.
