Geoff:
Spotted Dick is a traditional light steamed sponge pudding with 
raisins, currants and suet, served hot and usually eaten with custard 
or cream.

By an odd coincidence, I was out today for lunch with the team from 
the village computer centre and I nearly ordered Spotted Dick which 
was on the menu; chocolate pudding won, however. Just remind me when 
Spotted Dick turns up - is it at Hogwarts, or something rustled up at 
the Burrow?
