My American friends, in case you're scratching your head, Spotted Dick is a traditional British sponge pudding made with golden syrup, suet and raisins or currants. It's been a staple in pantries all over the UK for over a century. Traditionally steamed in a cloth, today it is commonly baked in the oven and served warm over custard. It's the currants resembling spots that lend to the name.
Don't be fooled by the name "pudding" either. To Americans "pudding" typically refers to a creamy, milk based product. This product is more like a sponge cake.

Canned Spotted Dick ingredients:
Water, Sugar, Wheat Flour, Raisins, Partially Hydrogenated Canola and Palm Oils, Nonfat Dry Milk, Partially Inverted Sugar Can Syrup, Leaveners (Sodium Diphosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate), Egg Whites, Salt, Spices and Spice Extractives, Natural Flavors
I'm sure it's a fine product. However, I think I'll stick to pastry foods that don't come in a can thank you very much!
