Spotted dick is a traditional British dessert made from a suet-based pudding. It typically contains dried fruits, such as currants or raisins, which give it the "spotted" appearance. The pudding is often steamed or boiled, resulting in a moist and dense texture. This dish is usually served warm, often accompanied by custard. It has been a part of British cuisine since the 19th century and remains popular in some regions today. While its name may sound unusual, it reflects the playful nature of British culinary terminology.
