No spotted dick here

Spotted dick off the menu

Tuesday, September 15, 2009
In the offices of Flintshire County Council, in Wales, workers can no longer gobble down spotted dick. That might sound like a healthy change, and a good way to stop STIs spreading, but councillors are complaining.

Like jellied eel and battered Mars Bars, spotted dick is considered food in the UK.

The council canteen changed the name of spotted dick to spotted Richard because they were tired of people laughing at the name.

The move outraged Councillor Klaus Armstong, who told the UK's Telegraph."I couldn't believe it, it seemed ludicrous." Oddly, there were no complaints about having to suffer with British cuisine..
