Spotted dick -- anyone have it?

[AndrewR]

The DESSERT, you sick person!!! It's English -- basically lard with black currants.

Anyone like it besides me? Haven't had it since I was in London last year, as it's hardly one of their favorite exports.

I have to watch my fat intake, so I go with Spotted Dick Lite - raisins in rice pudding.

Can't say I do, I mean have had it.

Spotted Dick, and yes I have had it and like it, I trained in English/French cooking.

Did you read the ingredient? Stoned raisins and mace? I'll probably have to detox before I try it. Lard and Raisins -- not a very appertizing combination.

<<basically lard with black currants>>

I'm not a very big lard lover....


I know it's used in cooking, etc, but by itself ...umm no thanks

It tastes much better than it sounds, its an English comfort food, and when served with a well made custard its very nice.

what is suet, and what is a stoned raisin?

Very nice...

Definitely tastes better than it sounds. I suspect that most people would like it if they tried it.

Isn't the &quot;Cream&quot; center of an Oreo cookie just lard with suger?

Add some raisins take away the cookie. Sounds like it may be a bit to sweet.
