Spotted Dick (I bet I have your attention now...)

No. This is not a personal condition, nor is it a disease. It is an English dessert.

So, I had to try it. If this is not cultural immersion, I don't know what is...

I picked up a package of it at Marks & Spencer (kind of like a UK Trader Joe's). The packaging describes it as, "suet puddings studded with currants and topped with a creamy vanilla custard."

I found it to be a mediocre bread pudding with custard on top.

Sean still won't try it.
[SEAN]: Ok so I finally tried it. Yeah kind of unremarkable. And the name just still weirds me out. I think I would have preferred the lava cake that Tracey and Ben were eating.

So, now you know....
