1. spotted dick

   Spotted dick is a classic British dessert, traditionally steamed or boiled. It is a type of pudding made with suet and dried fruit, typically currants or raisins, which give it the 'spotted' appearance. The 'dick' is thought to come from the word 'dough' or 'thick'. Despite its peculiar name, it's essentially a sponge cake and is often served with custard.

1. Spotted dick

   Spotted dick is a steamed suet pudding, popular in Britain, containing dried fruit commonly served with custard. Spotted refers to the dried fruit and dick may be a contraction or corruption of the word pudding or possibly a corruption of the word dough or dog, as "spotted dog" is another name for the same dish with the use of plums rather than currants. Another explanation offered for the word "dick" is that it is the German word for "thick." According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the earliest documented reference is a recipe for "Plum Bolster, or Spotted Dick", in Alexis Soyer's The modern Housewife or ménagère. Hospital managers at Gloucestershire NHS Trust and the catering staff at Flintshire County Council renamed the pudding Spotted Richard on menus because of the use of the word dick in the original name, a common dysphemism for male genitalia in the English language. Gloucestershire NHS Trust restored the original name in 2002. Flintshire County Council reversed their renaming after a few weeks.
