Just so none of us have to do a web search. What is spotted dick and why is it called that?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_dick
It's a steamed suet pudding made with raisins or sultanas which make it look spotty.
Really not beating the allegations with that one.
"Dick" is an archaic way of writing dough. It can also be called spotted dog
Dick refers to pudding.
