Before everyone rushes off to the nearest Outpatients Dept
or is inclined to flame me for gross indecency, I feel I
must bring this unique recipe to your attention.
To go without Spotted Dick and Custard is to deny yourself
one of the pinnacle pleasures of life - and you don't have
to be a deviant either! When you get to my age (and older)
it takes over from sex - COMPLETELY.
Spotted Dick and Custard is an essential pudding (dessert
for them wot's refained and are inclined to drink tea with a
teacuplittle finger in the air) and has to be on the
household menu, now we have entered the inhospitable regions
of winter cold. Believe me, with this lot sloshing around in
your gut, you'll race from the house, stark naked in 'forty
below' and think absolutely nothing about doing at least a
complete gearbox overhaul or rear diff removal and rebuild
with nary a further thought - and in the open air.
Mr Richardson will wholly endorse my recommendation as to
its culinary delights. A few weeks ago, we had a memorable
session together in a local trough - and Spotted Dick
culminated our knife and fork explorations. At least, I
think it did - or was that the time I had a Jubilee Pancake
and Richardson offered verbal encouragement and later, a
pair of crutches to get me back to his car? Never mind, like
Porridge, this is the sort of dish upon which we once built
an Empire, only to later lose it when we encountered
something called a Hamburger. Full details of components and
the manufacturing process (sadly without a picture of the
end result) can be found on

Consumer reports are awaited with the greatest interest.
Go on, Mrs Hensley - sock it to them during the week! I
assure you, it'll be a Triumph in your kitchen - without a
chassis.
In conclusion, lest some Doubting Thomas's think this is a
'spoof' - SD and C was frequently found on the menu in the
former factory canteen. Any leftovers were promptly taken to
the Assembly Tracks and used as an alternative material to
dum-dum for holding in pieces of trim.
