I wish i could figure out how to post just the picture not the link. I was walking in the supermarket and there is was, Dick in a Can. Naturally i bought a large can.

I am the only one to whom this extraordinary after dinner treat is unknown? Am I the only one immature to get a giggleout of this product?

It stuck my fancy so much that i ordered the T shirt. If you scroll down the page you can find it. i ordered the extra large in purple of course.

Until just now, I had never heard of this product. An STD lecture I attended advised avoiding spotted dick, but I suspect they weren't talking about this.

Well of course...Rick would have the picture for us all to enjoy....Thank you Rick and PK. I had never heard of this, but you made my night...

Does anyone know if they use the term 'dick' in the UK as we do here? If they do, I wonder how anyone can buy this stuff with a (pardon the expression) 'straight' face.

yes they do, and its a long standing joke, along with throat lozenges called "Fisherman's friends" for which the ad used to be "Suck a Fisherman's Friend"

And the one for Cadbury;s fudge fingers, which I am not going to post here lest it offend those with delicate sensibilities. It had us 14 year olds at school in hysterics........

From Wikipedia...

 

"...Hospital managers at Gloucestershire NHS Trust (in 2001)^[4] and the catering staff at Flintshire County Council (in 2009)^[5] renamed the pudding Spotted Richard on menus because of the use of the word dick in the original name, a common dysphemism for male genitalia in the English language. Gloucestershire NHS Trust restored the original name in 2002. Flintshire County Council reversed their renaming after a few weeks..."

I just recently noted the same product. Not sure why, but I'd never noticed a "British" section in the store before. Heinz Spotted Dick is next to Heinz Treacle.

 

But I also only recently noticed Heinz "Vegetarian Beans". I get it: prepared without any meat product for flavoring. But at first glance you stand there thinking "wait a minute, aren't all beans vegetarian?". I'm told they've been around for years but I've never cooked vegetarian (and rarely use beans from a can) so never had any reason to notice them.

I actually picked up Spotted Dick in a Can this past holiday season - it was sold here in my local super market. It's still sitting on the shelf in my kitchen. I thought about organizing a kind of display for it - next to a plaque for good service or something. When I actually eat the spotted dick, I'll let you guys know all about it. Meanwhile, perhaps we could have a support group - fans of spotted dick - for men who are addictked to eating spotted dick.

[Jaker27]

That kind of reminds me of the SNL skit.."Dick in a box".

The reason is vegetarian baked beans vs baked "pork 'n' beans". So next time you are serving hamburgers to a kosher, or halal, or vegetarian ( in this case it would be soy burgers) group, you would use the Vegetarian Beans as opposed to the ones with pork in them.

Wikipedia says that spotted dick is a steamed suet pudding. Suet, really? SUET? Who's gonna take one for the team and try it?

The British have all sorts of interesting (euphemism for dreadful) foods, but some I like, such as "bubble and squeak." And there is nothing better than a "Scotch egg."

[trilingual]

Lots of British puddings are made with suet. It's not the principal ingredient, but it is the fat used, rather than lard or butter. Not everyone cares for suet and it's possible to make the recipes using regular vegetable shortening. They just won't be as "authentic." Spotted Dick, by the way, probably got its name because it's studded with raisins and reminded someone of a pimply teenager (the Brits call pimples "spots").

Well I raise this rather old thread to say that i finally broke down and inhaled some spotted dick. My dick had been in a can for about 2 years, a long time to have your dick in a can, even by Steven Kesslar standards, and i finally decided that it was time someone takes the dick out of the can and eats it.

 

My dick had stamped on it: "Best eaten by June 2014" and i thought, August 1975 would probably have been the best year to eat my dick. Well, I broke down and ate a big helping of dick and I enjoyed it immensely.

 

Anyone else out there eating spotted dick. Any one else ever been spotted eating dick?

 

Juvenile posting, I agree. But sometimes you just get tickled and you just do not know why. Spotted dick tickled me. Anyone out there that wants to tickle me with his dick, spotted or otherwise, I really am in the mood.

When the English say that they're going out to blow a fag, it means they're going to smoke a cigarette.

Why can't I find that 'Are You Being Served' meme about cocky-leeky?

How about a dick in a box?

I don't know if it's still in use, but 'fagging' was the term for underclassmen serving as servants for the upperclassmen in boarding school. This is an old memory, from watching "Tom Brown's Schooldays" in my teens.

They don't say 'blow a fag' but fag most commonly means a cigarette.

It still is, as far as I know. No gay undertones to speak of!

How about a woman naming her dog "Dick"?

 

 

[seaboy4hire]

The last grocery store I worked at in Seattle sold this. When I saw it on the shelf I burst out laughing. I never did try it. I don't recall seeing it here in Chicago yet.
