Well at least dough and dick start off with the same letter. In either case it is quite a corruption to push things as far as dick, is it not? Then again with the large world market for Viagra maybe pudding and dick are really not that far apart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we don’t name our deserts after our genitalia. Spotted dick dates from a time when dick was not a term for the, well, 'dick'. Also this use of the word 'dick' is just another corruption of another word. Dick can also mean 'private investigator'. Check a good dictionary. A word about spotted dick, the pudding, it is fantastic when well made. It is best with custard, a real winter warmer. it is easy to make and also readily available in the shops in the UK.

Is that the same thing as a jelly roll? Don't think so. In the UK Jam is a preserve made from real fruits and, added to toast for breakfast or, to desserts. Here Jelly is a dessert, comes in a rubbery concentrate that you add water to then set in the fridge, kids love it. redrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now a jelly doesn't have to be jelly, when it was first made it was preserves. It's a thin cake, like sponge that gets a creamy whip and jam spread all over it and then it is rolled up.

leisurely Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I have seen Auntie Bessies in TOPS this morning. I think it was 175/9 baht. In the freezers. I don't fancy it, I can't stand dried fruit either so I'm with the poster who said that, the one who mentioned jam roly poly though, you're in trouble, I need to track down a source of suet now..................................... Gonna cook me up a nice big roly poly of jam and cover it with home made custard, none of that Birds gear, the real deal - milk, flour, vanilla pod......
