That sounds delicious....gonna try to find a recipe for it

my favorite school dessert.

Spotted dick?

that always cracks me up.. it makes me laugh as much now as it did when I was seven... hahaha

found the recipe for Concorde Grape pie on cook.com. Give me a week and I'll make one!!

Almost afraid to ask what a spotted dick is!!

blimey!... i was just looking that up.. Peel all the grapes? ... bloody hell!

is that why it will take you a week?

Id have given up half way throo if I had to peel all the grapes.. I'd have probably eaten them with some nice cheese and wine.

It's a sponge pudding with raisins.. or currants.. I dunno something like that.. We have it with custard on it.. it is yummy though.

me too...I couldnt put it in my mouth cos of its name...so never tasted it

Spotted dick is a traditional English steamed suet pudding containing dried fruit (usually currants), commonly served with either custard or butter and brown sugar. Spotted refers to the dried fruit (which resemble spots) and Dick may be a contraction/corruption of the word pudding (from the last syllable) or possibly a corruption of the word dough.

It is possibly conjugated originally from sticky pudding to dicky pudding to dicky to dick and finally spotted dick as in pudding with raisins.

It is also known as spotted dog, plum duff, steamed dicky, figgy dowdy, dotted lloyd, packphour's lament, dicky widmark as well as plum bolster, Spotted Richard and, occasionally, Dickie Burton after the famous actor
