Breaking News – Spotted Dick is Back!

spotteddick300-1An update to our previous post – Spotted Dick Off the Menu.  As reported by the BBC:

Council chiefs have reversed a decision to rename the pudding Spotted Dick after receiving “abusive letters” and accusations of political correctness.

Canteen staff at Flintshire council had decided it would be referred to as “Spotted Richard” on their menu after “immature comments” by some customers.

The council now says the pudding will revert to its traditional name.

No word yet whether Boiled Baby will be added to the menu.   Boiled Baby is said to be similar to Spotted Dick, except without the raisins or eggs.
