OMG Spotted Dick! →[More:]I fear this product, not so much because of it's poor name, but because of the notion of sponge cake from a can.

Spotted dick is pretty good stuff. Just not in a can. Ever.

All I can say is that despite the name, and the container, this stuff is really tasty. Especially if you open a can of custard and pour it on top.

I can only imagine how many calories are involved.

I'd possibly be willing to compromise on the custard, but not the, er, dick.

Funny that such an American company like Heinz makes traditional British food.

We had some for the Super Bowl last year. It actually wasn't bad; if it hadn't been for the trans-fats I would have bought more.
