Acutally, while I was fond of (and maybe somewhat strange to "foreign
palates") British delicacies such as pickled onions, fish and chips (plaice,
not cod, and with malt vinegar, of course), Triffle, Christmas Pudding, and
mince pies, I never liked Spotted Dick much. If my memory serves me right,
it is a sponge cake, and I remember one of the three or so ingredients was
suet. I think it's only famous because of the name!
I also liked Banks Bitter - wonder if they still serve that in the Black
Country!

As a Brit I find it hard to understand that you find this so amusing for so
long. Spotted dick jokes are old hat and funny for 5 seconds.
For a small fee I'll post anyone some Spotted Dick.
