Re: Suet in "spotted dick"

Luckily these days we are able to buy vegetable suet. Much nicer than eating the fat around an animal's kidneys.

I remember my Mum, and my Nan, making Spotted Dick with custard for us when we were kids. Don't think I liked it much though.
Too right Mups. SPOTTED DICK is a well-known and well-loved famous old fashioned English winter pudding from hundreds of years ago. It is also sometimes known as Spotted Dog or Railway Cake. Those PC idiots who insist on it being called Spotted Richard can go do one. It is what is, a delicious pudding made with suet, filled with either currants or raisins and served with a lovely custard.
YUM! Equally nice is jam roly-poly, and steamed syrup pudding, all made with suet.

Are you NOT very familiar with it ? It is, after all, an English pudding.
Sorry ... just fooling around.

"spotted dick" has been a source of schoolboy amusement for generations. I am familiar with the name but not the delicacy.

Steak & kidney pudding, on the other hand, is/was an old family favourite.

Beef and ale stew with dumplings

Beef and ale stew is the most traditional of slow-cooked British classics, and is a corker of a one-pot winter warmer.

I know ... I never could understand what was so funny about those jokes about spotted Richard who went to a STD clinic. It's a health complaint that should be taken seriously, irrespective of any embarrassing cosmetic disfigurement or rash.

If they are seriously suggesting that old dish is now called Spotted Richard, does that mean to say any men called Richard must no longer be called Dick either?
