London Desserts
 
Okay just a quick question about a Desset I noticed on a menu, while in London last week. What is "Spotted Dick and Custard?"

It is some sort of suet based sponge cake I think. I was going to try some but then I read that it was made with suet and that just sounded gross. The spots I believe are made of currants or sultanas (raisins). The custard part is probably just what it sounds. Bon appetit!!

Who has a dirty mind? You are the only one who has mentioned anything about it being &quot;dirty&quot;, so you must be the one with the dirty mind. sss seemed just to be asking a simple question about a standard dessert. Who said it was anything dirty?<BR>
