I can only imagine the scene at my usual supermarket...
"Excuse me, do you have any spotted dick?"
Supermarket help: "Say WHAT???"
"I asked if you had any spotted dick here."
Supermarket help: "Hell no! Are you some kind of smart-ass or something?"
"No, so I take it that you don't like spotted dick?"
Supermarket help: "Man, you are one sick puppy!"
"I guess it would be futile to ask if you like pork faggots then?"
Supermarket help: "Security!"
 Who's on first? FYI: I just saw the SD on a shelf and picked it up. The clerk may have noticed the name, but he didn't say anything about it. Now if I can just remember where I saw the Mr. Brain's PFs.

Now, I'm not clear on this. Do you put the spotted dick in or on the pork faggots? Or do you just eat the pork faggots and have a little spotted dick on the side? It leads to the question, how can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat.

If you can find it over there, this should be your next experiment with SD.
Not sure I can get the custard, but there is a store in Fargo (an hour south of GFK) that sells a number of UK products, including Devonshire Cream. If I made a custard using the Devonshire Cream, would I have the same thing? Glad I'm reading this thread after lunch, this could get really dangerous really fast....

No Mr. Brain's, yet, but I did see some Treacle along with the SD. The market also had a few other items like UK Heinz speghetti, Mac & Cheese, and some candy bars, like Yorkie and Aero. I like the Aero. Anyone familiar with the Yorkie? What's it like?

It wasn't bad. It's just that my taste buds are off because of a Rx I'm taking--so I can't be sure of what I'm tasting. Most things--even desserts--have a garlic flavor to them. Some days that's stronger than others. I tried to choose a day that it wasn't so strong. I also think I might like it, if it wasn't a typical canned item. Now I'm curious to see what it would taste like from a pub or home made. I think I'll wait until I'm off the Rx for that though.

I wish I had that kind of control. Sometimes it does work and it has a good flavor. Tonight, hi had some chicken with some General Tso's Stir Fry sauce. Usually, that stuff is hardly spicier than Sweet & Sour sauce. Well, it tasted more like Kung Pao tonight! I guess there's garlic in there. I've been drinking water and Gatorade for the last 45 minutes. And I thought the garlic taste was fairly low today. Not any more.

For what it's worth, I think that Mr. Brain's Pork Faggots are frozen. So, they seem to be harder to come by. I'm pretty sure I saw them somewhere, but I can't remember where.

Starting to lose a little interest in Mr. Brain's--now that I've seen what they're made of...
Yes indeed, I think they use the word 'pork' in its very widest sense - meaning 'part of a pig' All rectums and eylids inserted

Here's a recipe for spotted dick from the old rec.food.cooking/rec.food.recipes Usenet newsgroup:
Ingredients (6 servings)
8 oz Self-raising flour
1 pinch of salt
4 oz Margarine
2 oz Castor sugar (Superfine)
4 oz To 6 oz sultanas (Big raisins)
6 TB Water
Instructions
Have ready a sheet of foil or a double thickness of greaseproof paper brushed with melted margarine.
Make the pudding crust: Sieve the flour and the salt. Rub in the margarine. Add the sugar and sultanas. Mix in the water to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured board and form into a roll. Wrap loosely but securely in the greaseproof paper or foil. Tie or seal the ends. Place in the steamer and cover tightly. Steam for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Serve with hot custard sauce or sprinkle with castor sugar.
Variation: At stage 3: Put the mixture in a medium-sized (1 1/2 pint) pudding basin with a round of greaseproof paper in the bottom and brush all round inside with melted margarine. Smooth the top. Cover with foil, or double greaseproof paper brushed underneath with melted margarine and steam for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Serve with hot Custard sauce or sprinkle with castor sugar.

Thanks Beagle. It looks like I have about three more weeks of this Rx. Then, I should start returning to normal (that is--normal for me)!

I found a British pub that serves Spotted Dick. It's about 30-40 minutes north of here. I may give a try one of these days; just to compare. http://www.theoldeship.com/

You're right about that. I'll probably just sheepishly point to the item on the menu.
