Who doesn't like Spotted Dick?

Your mouth is watering, no?

Question 1:

It seems that the British holiday favorite sponge pudding "Spotted Dick" was struggling in sales. Tesco, a large store did a survey to see why folks weren't chomping down their spotted dicks anymore, and what did they find out?

	Tired of old British puddings, eager to try some young Southeast Asian puddings			The name, duh

	Weren't getting what they expected inside of the can

Question 2:

The Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Trust has decided to stand up for what is right and good and proper in England. they have returned the dignity of "Spotted Dick," by putting it on the menu for all hungry patients to order again. What had replaced it?

	Escargot swimming in a lightly herbed butter sauce			Spotted Richard

	Vanilla Custard

Question 3:

You may know it by Spotted Dog or Plum Bolster but Spotted Dick is still Spotted Dick. The spotted part comes from the currants, raisins or fruit in the dough. Where does the other part come from?

	Ye olde horn-dogs			Probably from the word for dough

	The baker who first made it

Question 4:

So how does it taste? We Americans bought the canned version, and followed the microwave diretions to the letter. Our version was like a bread pudding, with alot of carbohydrates (42g per serving). What was the pudding's most remarkable trait we noticed?

It really held the heat

Ah, the taste of jolly olde England
