 | This is not so much a discussion as to show you just how daft and pathetic our so-called masters in the UK are. I heard on the radio news this morning - honest truth - that the county councillors of Flintshire in north Wales have banned the use of the term "Spotted Dick" in its staff canteen for fear that "it could be misconstrued". Instead, it will henceforth be shown on the menu as "Spotted Richard"!!! I kid you not. Thought I'd just mention this to give you a laugh and show how mad the world is nowadays. I hate to think how "Spotted Richard" can be misconstrued too, pity anyone named Richard with a bad skin. Anyone got any other ideas what foodstuffs can be renamed for fear of them being "misconstrued". Tarts could be renamed "Flans of Easy Virtue" perhaps? Many a true word said in jest! |

 | Although the original poster is long gone, there are many more members from the UK that might be able to answer my question........if I saw and ordered Spotted Dick/Spotted Richard from a canteen, what would I expect to have served to me? |

| Thank you. So it is similar to mincemeat pie? It's a dessert item rather than a meat and potato dish? |

| It reminds me of a joke that luckilly did not turn out to be a truth - when in USA they banned a "black hole" in astronomy. :) |
