Why I don't trust British food

[nikimcbee]

I went to the store last night to get some halloween candy, when I passed throught the "international" food section, where they have "British" cuisine.

Then I saw this:


What in the smurf is this? Sure enough, it was manufactured in England (fortunately it was NOT Newcastle, or I'd really be worried)

Now, I could see Australia eating this, as they are a penal colony, maybe Scotland.

So.....
Do you need to be 21 to buy this?

Do geordies eat this?

When you go to the store and you can't find any "spotted dick", do you ask for it? "Hey mate I'm looking for some spotted dick."

Is there a female version of this, say "speckled...."


Now, if you eat this pudding and some here says "oops, I dropped me sausage."

I'm going to run for my life.




Wait, I'm connecting the dots...










Oh, I see.

Knew this was about spotted dick before I clicked the thread.

Hmm. After reading a couple of descriptions of what it really is, I'm not sure it's something I'd want to try anyway.

It's a delicious RAISIN INFUSED SPONGE PUDDING

McBee - if you automatically associate it with your latest trip to the doctors, well, you need to watch what you're doing! Don't share a stolen limo seat.

Ask Herr-Berr


I could post an answer, but this is not an adult website.

It's just sponge, like as in sponge cake? Or is sponge a British thing too?

Don't go too hard on him, he is from Chicago. I'll explain it to him later.

They do have "sponge cake" here, but there are no spotted dicks associated with them.

And these on subsim are the worldly ones

I think they're just trying to wind us up, let's ignore them until they behave.
