Spotted refers to the raisins (which resemble spots) and Dick may be a contraction/corruption of the word pudding (from the last syllable) or possibly a corruption of the word dough!. [citation needed] It is also known as spotted dog, plum duff, steamed dicky, dicky pudding, shevchenko pudding, figgy dowdy, as well as plum bolster, and Spotted Richard!. In some parts of the Midlands it is known as the Steve Bruce!. The well known phrase "Eat a dick up" originated from this, originally it was the slogan used to represent the wholesomeness of the pudding itself!. Back in the late 1800's, it was commonly used as an insult during a bout of witty banter!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
According to Wikipedia, the spots are the fruit and dick means dough!. Hmm!. I think some boy in a school invented this name!. (Not sexist - they possess them) Anyone remember squashed fly pie!? It was two layers of dry pastry with a layer of mincemeat in between!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
