A question for all you Brits out there

[bill2 0]

I was online, as usual, and reading a post by an Englishman, living in the states, and he was talking about his last meal, how he had eaten "spotted dick". Was he joking, is that really the name, and what the hell is it? If it really is something you eat, couldn't someone had come up with a better/more appetizing name? And Sangiro, have you had any spotted dick since you've been in London?

Yep, it's real it's a pudding made with currants and suet i think.
We don't all like it though.
If it's got tit's or wheel,s..it's trouble.

SPOTTED DICK
Makes 6-7 helpings
300g plain flour
150g caster sugar
1/2 (2.5 ml) spoon salt
2 (5ml) spoons baking powder
150g shredded suet
150g chopped currants
cold milk
flour for dusting
Sift the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together. Add the
suet, chopped currants, and enough cold milk to make a soft but
not sticky dough. Shape into a roll. Lay the dough on a scalded,
well-floured pudding cloth and roll up loosely. Tie up the ends of
the cloth. Put into a saucepan of fast-boiling water, reduce the
heat, and simmer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Drain well and unwrap.
Slice and serve with any custard or sweet sauce, or with warmed
golden syrup and cream.
If it's got tit's or wheel,s..it's trouble.

Thanks for answering my question. Although, personally I would have picked a different name for it.

That's a really nice recipe...but if you don't know what the hell currants and suet are .......
I think currants are some kind of nuts but suet...no clue....

Currants are like little mini-raisins.
According to Merriam Webster online, sute is "the hard fat about the kidneys and loins in beef and mutton".
Raisins & fat. Nice combination.

I'm disappointed. I definitely thought this thread would end up discussing some British Women's 4-way team. From what I've heard......

I always thought the common usage of suet was that gunk with birdseed embedded in it that you feed to birds, or other animals, or something. I just remember seeing it at these agricultural supplies stores they had in my hometown. Nasty stuff.

It's actually pretty good for your fall rate . And with a bit of custard poured over it you'd never know it tastes like lard soaked sponge cake. BTW , custard is yellowish goo with a bit of vanilla flavour, just in case that didn't make the cultural divide.

Should really be called "Boobie pudding"

can sure understand the confusion ... first Brit I worked with ... meaning he wanted to take a break ... says "I think I fancy a fag about now" ... hmmm ... I'm thinking ... guess I should drive him down to the Montrose area and turn him loose .... finally figure this out and are outside for a smoke, and he says something about "chatting up the birds" ... now, I'm starting to think he's really flipped his whig ... but then.. if he wants to talk to the pigeons, who was I to stop him ... LOL ... takes a while to learn their slang, for sure!
