Hi All,
 
David:
>>> I went and had a look at the recipe, and, yes, you do see things for
sale called Spotted Dick which probably follow these general lines.

However, I'm pretty sure that the stuff we had at school was suet-based,
which IMO makes quite a difference. <<<
 
Delia's Spotted Dick definitely has suet in:

While I'm on Delia, did anyone else love the Aidan Smith "Song to Delia
Smith"? Here are the lyrics:
 
Delia, I'd like to feel your 
hands upon my chopping board tonight.
Good-looking, 
what you got cooking
underneath the T.V. kitchen's electric light.

You share my name
I'll share your fame
we're just the same
we both like brandy

Delia, I'd like to peel your 
apron off like you peel that onion skin.
Delia, let's make a meal, yeah
Stay with me and we will never thin

I like your eyes
and your chicken pies
oh, realise your perfect recipe with me
 
It is a fantastic song. Well worth the price of the whole CD.
 
Cheers,
 
Dumbledad.
