My favorite memory of grocery shopping there was picking up a frozen game pie and reading the warning, "THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN SOME LEAD SHOT". To this day, I'm convinced that was included on the packaging to promote sales by suggesting authenticity.

This reminds me of school dinners....think that was the last time I had it! Don’t really do “spotted dick”, preferring to avoid std’s! ?

But here in the US if you have spots on your dick, go to the doctor office immediately. ????

I knew a guy who had spotted dick and the doctor gave him shot for it. ?

The package says the spotted dick would be "Ready in 2 1/2 minutes." That's plenty of foreplay for a man, but women generally want more.

I prefer mine without spots. Who knows where the spotty ones have been.

Some years ago, I saw an episode of "The F Word" where Gordon Ramsay and Ricky Gervais were trying a few snacks available throughout Europe with weird and funny names. It was hysterical. Spotted Dick wasn't among them but it should've been.

Click the link to see the bit. The part with the snacks starts at 2:20 but the whole thing is funny.

IF dick has spots then Jane should get checked by the Doctor asap.....LOL.

If a person looks around in a men's locker room, he might spot a lot of dicks!

Sticky Toffee pudding is my favorite UK dessert. I didn’t try the Spotted Dick!

125 grams Self-raising flour
65 grams Coconut oil softened
90 grams Currants

Finely grated zest 1 lemon
Finely grated zest 1 small orange
75 ml Almond milk give or take a little - see recipe

The night before you want to make this, put the currants and the gin in a bowl and leave to soak.
The next day, put all the dry ingredients in a bowl, including the currants and any leftover gin.
Add the softened coconut oil, mix.
Then add a splash of almond milk at a time, until it all comes together in a sticky, but firm dough.
Roll into a sausage and gently wrap in greased parchment paper, or put into a well greased pudding bowl and cover with greased parchment.
Put into a steamer with the lid on for 45-60 minutes.
Remove carefully from the steamer, and let it cool a little before slicing.
Serve with lots of custard (Oatly custard is perfect for this!)

Hahaha! Ok, what is this elusive spotted dick they are talking about? (For us stupid Yanks!) Lol

Spotted Dick is the best!

Yum. ?

What is the story behind this? Very interesting...looks delicious, actually...

Funny is there a treatment

Despite its name, it's actually quite tasty!

They sell it in the U.S. by the cans.

When I first heard of this dessert, I thought, "That sounds like a medical problem that should probably be looked at by a doctor! Hopefully, the poor lad gets treatment and lets everyone he's been with know!"

"Spotted Dick" or "Spotted Dog" goes back to 1849 according to Wiki (at least the earliest in print). Where as the honourable and ancient company "Aunt Bessie" goes back as far as 1995.
I do not know how far "dick" as a term for penis goes back but I wonder if dicks were spotted well before they were penises???

At least it's not 'Boiled baby' another 'pudding' favoured by the 18th century British navy.

Seems to be a lot of interest. In the pastry and the name. The name would work for a craft beer.

Why don't you make it? They are very easy you know? I make them sometimes for sunday tea

Aunt Bessie's what now?

Spotted dick is a pastry? I wonder what’s the origin of that name.
