Ahh, but John, did they have the custard to go with it. Granted I cheat and
use Bird's but I can't eat pie without it, nor should Spotted Dick be eaten
without it. OOh! and let's not get started on Pork Pie (never eaten with
custard), Cornish Pasties, Pork Roast with cracklin', and (I'd die for some
of this right now) bread and drippin'. Beans on toast, Welsh rarebit,
Bakewell Tart, Brandy snaps, Devon Cake (more brandy), Devonshire Splits,
oooh Grommet, I'd really luv a little Stilton on a Cream Cracker right now.
Who said the English don't know how to cook?

The Spotted Dick obviously recieved a response ranging from
snickers to
disbelief but once the initial reaction was gotten over and
the tasting was
done everyone was quite suprised at the pleasent, light,
fruity flavour of
this dish. By the end of the evening the S.P. was all but
decimated
inspite of the overabundance of other sweets on the dessert
trolley (table,
actually).
Jonmac replies:
I told you it was good. Did anyone take some home for
holding the odd bits of trim in place?
Now move on to Oxford John - and no, it was not conceived in
a Men's Room (public or private) in Oxford
