We dabbled in a long discussion of assorted 'puddings' in British
culture which included Spotted Dick. Thought you might find it
interesting. You will find many discussions of British foods in the
off-topic group.

This is a link specifically to Suet, a key ingredient in Spotted Dick.
I find it completely astounding that anyone in their right mind would
try to make a sweet desert out of Suet.

Move up and down in this thread for other people's opinions. As I
recall this thread went on for days under various different Subject
headings.

Just a thought.
