Today I had some Angel Delight for dessert it was wonderful... It took me back ..
Do you think that as we get older we like to go back to tastes from the past.?
Spotted Dick ... Treacle Tart.. Butterscotch Tart.!!!!
I made a butterscotch tart a few weeks back.. It was so sweet.. The family enjoyed it..
My mum would make bacon pudding.. Scraps of bacon in a suet roll.. Wrapped in cloth .. tied and boiled in a saucepan.. We kids loved it... 
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

Hah,  we probably wouldn't be allowed to call it 'Spotted Dick'  these days, Scrumps.   :grin:

As for the Bacon pudding,  I remember my Mum used to make that for us, too. 
Memories ey . . .

Angel delight - good grief - I didn't know that was still available!

Love treacle tart - with lots of homemade ice cream.

Oh heck - I am hungry now!

There was a phase where it was considered not the done thing to call it Spotted Dick!
But luckily both restaurants and customers kept on referring to it as Spotted Dick so that was that!!
And quite right too!!

Yes, I agree Ruthio.
I'd love to know how it got that name in the first place though?
Perhaps someone called Richard invented the recipe.

Loved Spotted Dick; I can't remember when I last had it.
My Mum used to make Leek pudding, as Bacon pudding is made.
I wasn't keen on Treacle Tart, it was too sweet even for this sweet tooth.

When I make treacle tart I use crushed cornflakes not breadcrumbs..
