Spotted Dick

Finally, I was able to have a bit of spotted dick. In the canteen today, the nice ladies whipped up a batch of spotted dick as the dessert with the main meal (which consisted of a very nice cheese and tomato quiche, cooked carrots, and chips - I could have had the mash rather than the chips, but I declined). Served in a bowl full of custard sauce, spotted dick is a nice bready pudding with raisins and some sugar on top. It's not as sweet as many American cakes (or sticky toffee pudding), but it makes a right tasty treat.
