Spotted Dick


Normally...I eschew advertising on websites. Gmail's advertising is fairly clever, though. They employ some sort of bizarre methodology that provides you with adverts based on certain words in your e-mail.

Recently, my dear Littlefair and I have been conversing about the Southern delicacy, Banana Pudding. Mmmmm. Gmail's magical program peppered my sponsored links column with all sorts of puddings. Chocolate pudding. Bread and butter pudding. Spotted Dick from the UK.

Wwwhhhha....whhhat...what's that you say? Spotted Dick? I was talking about pudding not vd (and not verkställande direktör, either)! Anyhoooo...there is, apparently, a pudding served in the UK called, "Spotted Dick." For all my peeps kickin' it in da UK...would you please comment and enlighten this knuckle dragging Yank? I thought we were to avoid Spotted Dick like the plague.

As always my dear kang I am here to help spotted dick is spongepudding with raisins baked in with the mixture. Now I may be wrong but I believe it was named after the notorious dick turpin

Ok...so when I bring banana pudding and Moonpies, you need to bring a can of spotted dick. We'll trade. :)

Dear Mistress Kang, Wikipedia has something to say on the subject, as always.

I had to look up "suet" and discovered it's beef or mutton fat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suet

Ewww!

And apparently you can get vegetarian pseudo-suet in the UK... and they pick on our McDonald's!
