So, have you ever had Spotted Dick

[Mr. McD]

Recipe for Spotted Dick

2 oz white breadcrumbs
2 oz self raising flour
4 oz shredded suet
8 oz prepared stoned raisins
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon mace
1 oz whole candidied peel, finely chopped
3 eggs
3 tablespoons brandy
grated zest of one orange

Mix the breadcrumbs with the suet and flour in a large bowl. Add the raisins making sure that none are stuck together. When these ingredients are well mixed, add the salt, nutmeg, ginger, mace, candied peel and orange zest, mixing thoroughly.
In a small basin beat the eggs well and add them with the brandy to the mixture, stirring for at least five minutes to amalgamate the contents thoroughly. Pack the pudding basin with the mixture, cover with grease-proof paper and foil and tie down with a string. Steam for four hours, making sure that the saucepan doesn't boil dry. Serve with lashings of hot custard.

9. Not to mention

Bubble and squeak.
Toad in the hole.
Roly-poly pudding.

Oh, the horrors of British cooking! I've been told that a particular Scots delicacy is the French-fried Mars bar..."Verrry good candy, but it could stand a wee bit more fat!".

By the way, how do you get the raisins stoned? Do you offer them a couple of tokes, or merely soak them in gin?

my grandma wouldn't let me leave the table until I'd finished the spotted dick. I sat there for a few hours before she gave up. :puke:

And when we were kids we owned a snake named Slippery Dick.

We wondered why our parents went into fits of laughter when we named it.
