Spotted Dick' dessert reportedly renamed 'Spotted Richard' by British
Parliament restaurant, sparking debate



The rumored renaming of a classic British bread pudding in the U.K.'s House
of Parliament restaurant has sparked great debate and left many Twitter
commentators up in arms.

The Telegraph reported earlier this week that the Strangers' Dining Room,
the 19th-century restaurant used by Members of Parliament (MP's) for formal
entertaining, has begun referencing the iconic dessert as "Spotted Richard"
instead, "in order to spare the clientele their blushes," the outlet wrote.

MP Andrea Jenkyns told the Telegraph that she was forced "to bite on my lip
to stop myself from laughing" when her server offered here a slice of
"Spotted Richard" as she dined there that day.

"We are not always able to control how staff may refer to dishes," the
spokesperson said.
"I had to ask twice, just to be sure. They have a traditional desserts
section, which changes daily, so I asked what the dessert was and that's
when they said it," she told The Telegraph.

The outlet further claims that four waiters confirmed the name change when
reporters approached them, but failed to share any more information beyond
the tidbit that "Richard" was "less likely to cause a stir with guests."

Meanwhile, a representative for the House of Commons denied the rebranding
rumor, stating that while there are "many traditional hot puddings" served
up in Parliament's official eateries, they are not always responsible for
what staffers call the dishes in daily business.

"We are not always able to control how staff may refer to dishes," the
spokesperson said.

The rumored rebranding has also sparked backlash on social media, from some
current and former government officials.

"Call a dick a dick, I say!" MP Michael Fabricant exclaimed on Twitter on
June 14, while former UKIP leader Nigel Farage similarly declared the
renaming "PC baloney."
Twitter users, too, were quick to voice their dissonance with the "Spotted
Richard" news.

"Political correctness gone mad I tell ye," one detractor said.

"...And these people run our country," another agreed.

According to Metro, "dick" was an old English term for pudding. The
now-controversially-named Spotted Dick, made from suet, dried fruit and
custard, is said to have been first served up by French chef Alexis Bénoit
Soyer in 1849.

You haven't got a hope in hell of offending me Bouffy. You're too butch
and gay to take seriously.

Quite why anyone wants to eat hot light fruit cake with custard is
beyond me. Unless I was starving I'd give it a miss. It probably would
have died a rightful death centuries ago if it wasn't for the double
entendre. Perhaps now we can can it...

Thank you for advertising British products. Don't forget to try our eel
pie and gravy, the magic that is bubble and squeak, the scrimpers

there's my personal favourite, bread and dripping. Mmmm yum. Roll up,

I'll pass. My mother used to make what you Brits refer to as 'plum
pudding' for Christmas. However, she believed in truth in advertising
and referred to it as 'suet pudding'. There was a lot of suet involved
and nary a plum.

If you don't have any poutine, the hell with it.

You will note the recipe was developed in Quebec, and not the British
parts of Canada where they can cook no better than their ancestors.

There's nothing wrong with taramasalata, except I can't get it around
here. The only Greek restaurant is dumbed down to match the market.

Lambs kidneys are problematic too. I like them but haven't seen them in
a sheep's age. Again, dumbing down for the market. A guy down the road
has a bunch of sheep and they do have lambs in the spring. hmmmm.. I
think they're wool sheep, not meat sheep. There are plenty of sheep in
the state but any leg of lamb in the market comes from New Zealand. Slap
a tariff on those damn Kiwis.

When I was a kid spring was marked by the shad running in the river. Get
a nice roe shad, have the fish for Friday night supper and the roe for
Saturday's breakfast. I haven't seen a shad for sale in ages let alone a
roe shad.

Even liver is a problem to find. Now in the southwest states you can
still get offal since the Hispanics are fond of it. Back in the old days
that's all the Mexican peasants saw of a cow.

Exactly. Lambs kidneys and fried eggs are a match made in heaven.

There was a time when the Co-op refused to stock lard or beef dripping on
health grounds.

I don’t know if they have changed their nanny policies now, because I
don’t shop there any more because of that.

Suet puddings are lovely, especially the steak and kidney ones. I make them
sometimes, but they do need a long time to cook in the steamer for the best
results.

Also thick cut bread slices fried in the deep fat fryer - wonderful,
especially when covered with a lightly fried egg, so that the yolk can soak
well into the bread.
