Spotted Dick is a traditional British dessert made from suet, flour, sugar, and currants or raisins, which give it its characteristic "spots." The dish is typically steamed or boiled, resulting in a dense, pudding-like texture. It is often served warm with custard.
The name "Spotted Dick" is believed to derive from the word "dick," which is an old term for pudding, and "spotted," referring to the dried fruits. This dessert has been enjoyed in the UK since the 19th century and remains a popular choice in British cuisine today.
