Spotted dick is a steamed suet pudding containing dried fruit (usually currants), commonly served with either custard or butter and brown sugar. Spotted refers to the dried fruit (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.[1] It is possibly conjugated originally from sticky pudding to dicky pudding to dicky to dick and finally spotted dick as in pudding with raisins.[citation needed] It is also known as spotted dog, plum duff, steamed dicky, figgy dowdy, dotted lloyd, packphour's lament, biff togger, Haverford lumps, nuns in a criddle and Dicky Widmark as well as plum bolster, "A DD (Dotted Dick)", slattern's bonnet, Spotted Richard and, occasionally, Dickie Burton after the famous actor.
