Get your mind out the butter! According to news reports out of the UK:
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.
Spotted Dick is a steamed suet pudding containing dried fruit, and is thought to have originated in the middle of the 19th Century. The “spotted” part of the name refers to the currants, which resemble spots, and “Dick” is believed to derive from the word dough.
We’re nuts, but not nuts enough to make this stuff up….no pun.
