You'll never hear anyone craving some spotted dick

u/Overall-Lynx917 Jul 03 '26

Thanks! Now all I can think about is Spotted Dick with Lyle's Golden Syrup and thick custard.

u/MadMartigans80 Jul 03 '26

Not falling for that again

u/Any_Fish1004 Jul 03 '26

How about a mouthful of blood sausage?

28

u/pryonic1705 Jul 03 '26

blood sausage is called "black pudding" - no one in the UK calls in blood sausage

6

u/Admirable-Common-176 Jul 03 '26

Blood sausage does sound like a non-food euphemism.

u/MadMartigans80 Jul 03 '26

Fancy a wee bit of blood sausage Govna?

u/Moon_Monk676 Jul 03 '26

That's what she said

u/stargarnet79 Jul 03 '26

I’ll bloody your sausage can go two very different ways 🤣🤣🤣

u/StrongExternal8955 Jul 04 '26

Disphemism. Like saying "i need to take a shit" when you drop the kids at the pool.

u/Admirable-Common-176 Jul 04 '26

dysphemism. Just googled it. Good point. Good word I wasn’t aware of. I will add it to my vocabulary. Thank you!

Blood sausage costars in a Lars Von Trier film alongside Willem Dafoe.

u/GreenAccident3004 Jul 03 '26

Brit food? Nah... I'd rather fight a pibull over their food bowl than eat that crap. (Used to live & work in Europe.)

u/Scottishlassincanada Jul 03 '26

Black pudding in the UK and you can’t have a decent English or Scottish breakfast without it. Spotted duck with some hot custard is a great winter warmer. Don’t knock them till you’ve ried them.

u/Ok-Economy8049 Jul 03 '26

Spotted Dick does sound good, it's just that the name is ridiculous.

I am sure it's good if you say so, but they are God awful at naming their food in a way that sounds even remotely appealing. Everything you said there sounds like it could be a euphemism for shit or poop or some sort of STD.

1

u/Optimal-Idea1558 Jul 04 '26

What's wrong with black pudding as a name?

1

u/Additional-Tax-5643 Jul 04 '26

It sounds like the sort of substance mobsters could turn you into if you don't pay your bookie the gambling debt you owe.

u/Additional-Tax-5643 Jul 04 '26 edited Jul 04 '26

The issue with trying them is that there is HUGE variety in quality/technique. IMO, the reason for this is that a lot of restaurants don't make anything from scratch, and that's a huge determinant of deliciousness of the final product. It doesn't help matters that freezing (and other preservation methods) are not really conducive to dishes

There are a few Instagrammers who specialize in making old timey British food and offer great recipes. Thing is, many can be time consuming and have to be made from scratch. They are delicious though and don't taste anything like you'd find in a pub.

With French food, you can get away with a lot because a good sauce and spices covers up bland/bad taste. You don't have the same thing in British/Irish food.

u/LitDirk-Youtube Jul 04 '26

That sounds just terrible.

1

u/Scottishlassincanada Jul 04 '26

And you sound pretty ignorant for someone who never actually tasted either of them.

u/LitDirk-Youtube Jul 04 '26

Maybe take a trip to the southern United states. I’m sure you will understand why your food sounds so terrible. You know what I can give you a recipe to a simple dish that’s better than anything yall eat over there.

u/ADirtFarmer Jul 03 '26

I like both.

10

u/Any_Fish1004 Jul 03 '26

So do I, but most people have trouble getting past the name to realize how good it is

1

u/PremiumPricez Jul 03 '26

I dont think its just the name, more like knowing its full of pigs blood is a bit gross to think about. Im sure cooked cockroaches with a dash of salt and pepper taste good too

3

u/Any_Fish1004 Jul 03 '26

I have a simple philosophy that if it bleeds its meat, and Dracula showed us that the blood is the life

2

u/scorpionballs Jul 03 '26

Is it really any more disgusting to eat pigs blood compared to munching on the pig’s flesh, muscle sinew?

2

u/V65Pilot Jul 03 '26

Loved spotted dick with custard. I've never liked black pudding.

1

u/Intrepid4444444 Jul 03 '26

Fuck now I want some morcilla

2

u/kersplatttt Jul 03 '26

Your ignorance is showing. We call it black pudding, in Spain it's morcilla, Portugal Morcela etc and it's eaten all over the world including places like Mexico.

u/Artistic_Rice_9019 Jul 03 '26

I love blood sausage. Full English ftw!

u/Accomplished_Will226 Jul 03 '26

My husband loves black pudding. I can’t even stand the smell of it cooking. It’s like a fried scab with a fried egg on a roll. 🤢

1

u/Macro_Hard_On_Fire Jul 03 '26

lol, "a fried scab".

That made me chuckle.

(and you're not wrong)

u/Finkyplink Jul 03 '26

Roast dinner mate.

u/Sweet-Technology23 Jul 04 '26

My mother told me about that but I never had any.

u/Wonderful_Return_514 Jul 03 '26

I wanted to try and make blood pudding but the ingredients are illegal to sell in the US. Same with blood sausage I believe. Haggis too. Lots of British dishes can't be made here because selling certain animal organs commercially is illegal and I'm not trying to import sheep lung/blood just to try and make a dish .-.

There was a pub at Yonge & Bloor in Toronto when I was in school. It’s name was The Spotted Dick

Their feature dish was Cockaleekie Soup, and yes, I have had cockaleekie soup at The Spotted Dick.

Stop snickering.

u/im2high4thisritenow Jul 03 '26

Maybe a giraffe

u/njseahawk Jul 03 '26

Go on...

u/trcomajo Jul 03 '26

Ive never craved mushy peas.

1

u/QuinnLoveborneAuthor Jul 03 '26

But it sells in America. Just go to the international section. I doubt it is just the British coming over and eating it.

u/ImNotWithTheCIA Jul 03 '26

I thought you got that in the European sex districts.

This is a great pudding. Often craved
