Spotted Dick - An Update

I brought the Spotted Dick to knitting group and it was a big hit.

I made a little plate for each gal. I used English china (because if you are eating Spotted Dick, it should be served on English china) and topped each serving with a little Cool Whip.

I asked everyone to take a bite and then I told them what they were eating. No one spit it out, which I thought was a good sign. There was much guffawing and most of the gals polished it off. A couple of them took a polite bite and then quietly put their plates back on the coffee table. Julie loved it, she said she wants a case of it for Christmas!

Please don't make me eat this

Imagine my delight when I saw these cans on the shelf at our grocery store in Portland, Oregon. Spotted Dick is a sort of British bread-pudding-with-currents thing. But in a can? And the name? I don't think so.

On second thought, I think I'll bring a couple of cans to my friend's upcoming 40th birthday knitting party and see how it goes over with the ladies. I'll keep you posted.
