TIL why the British dessert "Spotted Dick" is called that. The spotted part is obvious since it is riddled with currants, but "dick"?
Well apparently "dick" is a 19th century contraction of "pudding" which is still a British alternative term for dessert.

Friends! Are you interested in British food or food history or slightly rude sounding things? Boy howdy, do I have a new video for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrWgEFXlKDg
Today’s #BritishFood I crave here in the US: #SpottedDick. This is a traditional British steamed pudding with suet and dried fruits (like raisins and currants) and topped with custard. Thanks to @sybil for my prezzie.
