Spotted Dick, on the way out
Reports on TV news
it is no longer bought or baked.
["Spotted Dick" is a traditional British
steamed pudding, and while its name might
raise eyebrows,
it's a beloved dessert made with suet
and dried fruit, typically currants or raisins.
The name, thought to originate from
the "spots" of dried fruit and the word
"dick" (a now-archaic term for dough),
is not meant to be salacious.
The dessert is often served with custard]
