that British pudding, Spotted Dick

Lots of fun (food) stuff in this thread, MG, including a bit on Spotty Richard:

I don't know where the "Dick" part came from, but wouldn't be entirely surprised now if it turns out to be a play on speckled dick, distasteful as that may sound..

Actually the thread above is all about foods that don't sound nice. Maybe we should resurrect it.
