Yes, this caught my attention at the grocery store last night. I didn't believe my eyes. I thought of you guys and wanted to share:

until you've tasted it, you can't comment, it's fucking awesome...

although it is an unfortunate name...

 

[BrooklynBlue]

yeah it's actually pretty good, it's like a squishier bread pudding with raisins. Makes a good gag gift though.

 

[barman]

hey that's what engaged calls his penis!

 

[John]

It is also known as spotted dog, plum duff, steamed dicky, figgy dowdy, dotted lloyd, packphour's lament, dicky widmark as well as plum bolster, Spotted Richard and, occasionally, Dickie Burton after the famous actor.

great names

Yeah it's tasty! Did used to make us laugh as kids, but I'm sure it's been around longer than people have been using the word 'dick' for other things.

Needs custard. No, not that type, I mean Birds Eye custard.

I really can't imagine admitting I like eating spotted dick, but I have to admit now that I need to try it.

Doesn't that go against your community? Are you coming over to the dark side?

Aww yeah, chalk up another one!

Next thing you know, you'll be joining the Republican party.

Typically, I would hope if you saw a spotted dick you would know better than to go there -- or end up at the doctor. SMILES

American Husband: What's for dinner honey?

English Wife: Pork Faggots and Spotted Dick

Husband: Ummm...I'll be at the bar.

LOL!

Spotted Dick... wow that brings back some memories of time spent with distant family members in England. But yeah, if you like bread puddings, this is soooo the dessert for you.

Johu: The CEO of the Pimp Juice making company is that rapper, Nelly.
It's not a bad drink actually, even if the HFCS sucks compared to cane sugar as a sweetner, and is actually addictive in the same way nicotine is. But a non-carbonated energy drink! They need to make more of them!!!

I knew he had the song Pimp Juice, but when I first saw an ad for a store that sold it (with Nelly's face on the ad), I thought it was a joke :rasta:
