The big anti-hijack thread.....
Talk about anything, but if this works than we don't have to keep looking around all the threads to see who is still on tonight, and every night, or even every day! Talk about the chiefs, talk about tomorrow, talk about football, politics or even how to do flooring and the applicable budget. What you're drinking, how hard it is to sleep, etc. Every thing is acceptable in this thread.....

For a dessert item that sounds like a problem that would cause you to rush to the Doctor for treatment Spotted Dick was pretty good. We purchased the 10.7oz Heinz can and tried it one night while playing gin rummy. First it was suprising that it could be heated in the can (unopened) with a pan of boiling water. When we opened the can the aroma that wafted out was tantalizing. This "pudding" which is more like a cake was very tasty and had all the right ingredients. My wife would have preferred nuts over raisins but everything else was great. There was a taste of cinnamon, nutmeg and what seemed like pumpkin pie spices. The product came out of the can very easy and was enjoyed by all.
We will definitly purchase this again and may even send some as gifts to family members over Christmas.
Thank you

I ordered the Heinz Spotted Dick in the tin, but I received the Aunty’s Spotted Dick. It probably doesn’t make any difference, but I would have liked to try the Heinz. The other Aunty’s product I ordered was good.

My crashes are probably tv worthy. But I try to limit those - because of the recovery time.
Message could be our new code word for massage and we could work it into other threads to see how long it takes to catch on. :-)
Spotted Dick is a steamed suet pudding containing dried fruit, usually currants. The dessert is especially popular in the United Kingdom, usually served either with custard or with butter and brown sugar. Spotted refers to the currants (which resemble spots), and Dick is a corruption of the word dough.
