Spotted dick, a British dessert, is a pudding that is steamed and contains raisins.
(info below from wikipedia's entry on "Spotted Dick"):
"Spotted refers to the dried fruit (which resemble spots) and dick may be a contraction or corruption of the word pudding (from the last syllable) or possibly a corruption of the word dough or dog, as "spotted dog" is another name for the same dish with the use of plums rather than currants. Another explanation offered for the word "dick" is that it comes from the German word for "thick", dicht or dick."
It's not like this (Warning! NSFW!!!!)!
Bert warmed up the pudding in the microwave (but not on our good China which is edged with metal!). Fire anyone? Despite me not liking warm desserts, this was not bad at all. The pudding was quite moist and I really liked the "sultanas" (raisins) in there.
We only heated up one and will save the other for another time.
Ha ha, here is a BBC News article: Pudding Renamed Spotted Richard. Seriously?
Say it. Out Loud.
Spotted...
Dick!
