Well isn't that rediculous !!! I guess the site dosen't like the name of a very old fashioned English dessert "Spotted D I C K", in the forum, and yet the recipe is posted and approved and it is a delicious childhood dessert that I grew up with and my children grew up with too and many millions of English peoples grew up with

Spotted **** is a steamed suet pudding, popular in Britain, containing dried fruit (usually currants or raisins) commonly served with custard. Spotted refers to the dried fruit (which resemble spots) and **** may be a contraction or corruption of the word pudding (from the last syllable) or possibly a corruption of the word dough[1] or dog, as "spotted dog" is another name for the same dish with the use of plums rather than currants. Another explanation offered for the word "****" is that it is the German word for "thick."

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the earliest documented reference is a recipe for "Plum Bolster, or Spotted ****", in Alexis Soyer's The modern Housewife or ménagère (1849).[2][3]

the site even **** it out in the copy and paste

Bot maneuvering.

Apparently your naughty word is fine as long as it remains spotted.

I LOVE Spotted D i c k!!! Wait that doesn't sound right. I didn't even know Zazz bleeped out words lol. When I discovered a can of it a few years ago at Cost Plus World Market, I was laughing in the aisles and giggling like a little kid when I got home and opened it up. I've since made it homemade too, and want to try your recipe Derf! I may try it in the crockpot to simmer. I've made Boston Brown bread in the crockpot in tupperware and it worked great! They do have an edited name in some stores I've seen...something like Golden Pudding?

So funny...a couple of weeks ago, I was perusing the International section of a grocery store when I came upon a can of Mushy right next to the cans of Spotted D i c k. I was like who wants to eat something called Mushy and what is it? Oh peas... I don't like my peas mushy so didn't buy any, but I did take a photo because I thought it was funny.

have never tried it in the crock pot but can't imagine it wouldn't work, actually could do it in a steamer too. loved steamed puddings
