| 1 | My Grandmother used to make it and I don't know what recipe she used. I think it was a plain one and she added raisins to it. Does anyone have one? nanny9 - 2019-06-29 05:53:00 |

I have always known it as "spotted dick" too. Used to have it with custard as dessert for school lunch. Both my Mum and Gran made it as well as jam roly poly and apple roly poly pudding in winter. As far as I know "dick" was another name (probably regional) for a plain suet pudding, spotted dick was so named because of the raisins/currants in it resembling spots. nauru - 2019-06-29 18:31:00 |
| 8 | My mother use to make this and it was boiled in a cloth. We would have it with butter on it or golden syrup. For what I can remember I think it was a suet pudding with sultanas in it. retired - 2019-06-29 20:46:00 |

| 10 | Used to have spotted dick steamed pud with raisins in, served with custard a lot growing up on the farm.My mum cooked for a lot of men, and the pudd always simmered away on back of the old coal range in a big cast iron pot. fifie - 2019-06-30 23:13:00 |
| 11 | so to make one of these puddings, how do you cook them... korbo - 2019-07-01 08:52:00 |
| 12 | This James Martin recipe is pretty much the norm and he steams it in a pudding basin. It's very like the recipe my Mum and Gran used all those years ago. They tended to boil the pudding in a pudding cloth (old way) rather than a basin. You could use the slow cooker for ease of cooki ng. nauru - 2019-07-01 15:04:00 |

But I must say, that pudding looks amazingly stodgy and unappetising. Is it only because it is a sweet confection that makes it desirable in some people's minds? buzzy110 - 2019-07-01 16:11:00 |
| 14 | My understanding is the pudding was often cooked in a cloth back in the day, like the christmas pudding was. fifie - 2019-07-01 19:20:00 |

I only provided a link to a recipe and method of cooking the pudding as requested by korbo. I don't remember Mums puddings being stodgy or unappetising, much the same as a Christmas pudding without the spices. nauru - 2019-07-02 18:45:00 |
| 16 | Many years ago I was a guest at a dinner party where the food had been chosen to flatter a selection of very good French wines. The dessert wine was a fine Sauternes, and the pudding was a steamed suet and raisin pudding, in other words Spotted Dick. It was a superb combination and although I don't eat that kind of food any more, if offered a "last supper" that would be my choice for pudding (as long as it was cooked by the same wonderful cook).
