	Morning Coffee & Afternoon Tea: I Want My Spotted Dick!
		Spotted Dick, though it sounds like some of the spam email I get, or a hilarious, albeit 1st-grade-potty-mouth kind of joke, is actually a boiled or steamed suet pudding containing dried fruit, usually currants or raisins that are seen on the surface as little spots.
		Around the 1840s, "dick" was used to mean a type of hard cheese; when treacle sauce was added, it became "treacle dick", and finally when currants or raisins were added (looking like little spots), the "spotted dick" was born.
		Spotted Dick it was, and Spotted Dick it shall be.

	Straight Dope Staff Report: What's the origin of "spotted dick"?
		A similar dessert is "spotted dog," a plain cylinder of suet paste with the raisins and currants and sugar stuck into it, so that the spots are visible on the outside.
		Both spotted dick and spotted dog were traditionally boiled (or even steamed) in a cloth, but nowadays they are usually baked.
		Thus, the spotted dick in Ireland is sweet soda bread, with sugar, currants, and raisins, and it's also called the spotted dog or railway cake.

	John Derbyshire on spotted dick and English cuisine on National Review Online
		Spotted dick, I had better explain, is an English dessert: a cylinder of dense spongy stuff (hey, I'm no cook, just a consumer) with raisins or sultanas imbedded in it.
		The raisins make it "spotted"; "dick" is, I think, an ancient corruption of the word "dough." The story on Fox is that England's biggest supermarket chain — which is also, incidentally, an ex-employer of mine — is going to stop calling this wonderful confection "spotted dick" because people are embarrassed to ask for it.
		Yet there are times when I would abandon everything I have and jump on a plane back to London for just one mouthful of warm spotted dick dripping with custard.

		Because spotted dick, a bread pudding laced with currants and often served with a custard, is a fine, hearty dessert.
		The dessert isn't awful, but if the folks in Pittsburgh are planning to get Americans to overlook the dessert's bad cultural translation (not to mention our visceral aversion to eating a forkful of steaming-hot spotted dick), that spotted dick had better be damn toothsome.
		If the real Willy's fate is an indicator, the prospect of turning Heinz's spotted dick fantasies into a marketing reality is not too bright.
