It's just a cake, man. Relax

Looks tasty and you can put some ice cream in the middle.

It's delicious and the name is hilarious. Spotted dick is great.

A cake with currants in it. You normally have it with custard.

>The name has long been a source of amusement and double entendres, to the point that the catering staff of Flintshire County Council decided in 2009 to rename it to "Spotted Richard" because of all the jokes they were receiving.While "spotted" is a clear reference to the dried fruit in the pudding (which resemble spots), "dick" and "dog" were dialectal terms widely used for pudding, from the same etymology as "dough"; in late 19th century Huddersfield, for instance, a glossary of local terms described "Dick, plain pudding. If with treacle sauce, treacle dick."

Suet puddings are great, you're missing out.

This is pudding, what the fuck??!?!?!?!

I mean stuffing a spotted dick in your mouth and swallowing the globs of hot custard that come with it

Different dialects. In British English pudding means dessert.
