October 6, 200619 yr Author My grocery store has these specialty items and I was browsing, and saw that and had to double and triple check. I'm wondering of DePloder has a special recipe for spotted dick or just prefers it hot out of the microwave.

October 6, 200619 yr Author ^^^^^^^^^^^ QOTM. Now everyone walk into Jewel and ask them where the Heinz Spotted Dick is . . . from wiki Spotted Dick is a steamed suet pudding containing dried fruit, usually currants. The dessert is especially popular in the United Kingdom, usually served either with custard or with butter and brown sugar. Spotted refers to the currants (which resemble spots), and Dick may be a corruption of the word dough. Most recipes for spotted dick include the following: * White bread crumbs * Self-raising flour * Shredded suet * Raisins or currants * Salt * Nutmeg * Ginger * Mace * Citrus fruit peel * Eggs * Brandy
