Spotted Dick
Dick has a colleague at work who is English, and recently came back from a trip to London.
He brought a can of "Spotted Dick" back with him to give to Dick.
I had never heard of it before, so I looked it up on the web today. Here's what I found:
(from amazon.com)
Heinz Spotted Dick Sponge Pudding in a 10.5 oz. tin. A lovely sponge pudding studded with raisins. Has the consistency of a rich moist cake. A favorite dessert amongst English school children - hence the silly nick-name!
Oh, there are so many things about this that strike me as funny. :)
I thought perhaps we should start a new collection of foreign grocery store products with our names on them.
We started with "Trina" soft drink, and now we have Spotted Dick.
A match made in culinary-delight heaven?
...or, maybe we have the makings of tonight's dessert?
