LOL!
Yes, I believe it's sponge pudding or bread pudding. In the imported foods section of our nearby grocery they have the cans lined up on the shelf- Bigga (beans of some sort), Mushy (mushrooms I think) Spotted Dick (pudding of some sort). Makes for interesting reading on the store shelves!

It's a type of dessert. The term spotted dick comes from "spotted dog", because it looks like a dalmation. The spots are raisins. It's delicious!

It's a spongecake type of dessert with raisins in it. I actually asked in a London Pub once, as it was a menu item.
