I found out that spotted dick was some sort of British pudding. My wife asked me if I wanted it and I was just like huh.
Did you have it? If so, did you have it with custard? Done properly, you've got to have custard with it.

Was she smiling when she asked? I only know because I was in England, and a friend and I were talking about "separated not by an ocean, but by a common language" and then she mentioned that, which I also never heard of.


The term 'spotted dick' sounds like an STD.

Haven’t eaten Spotted Dick in a million years, but I loved it. Gotta have custard with it, most definitely.

Not yet, she was going through recipes and she mentioned something about custard.



I did not know that Sylvester Stallone was the original choice to play Axel Foley in Beverly Hills Cop. Yeah, I don't know all the things ha. I found this out when looking up information on the trilogy after finding it at Walmart for 5 bucks!



Thank you for sharing this information with us.

Something I just found out recently is that Paul McCartney and John Lennon almost reunited on Saturday Night Live in 1976. They were watching the show together when producer Lorne Michaels offered them $3,000 to perform as the Beatles. They were tempted to go to the studio, but they were too tired and decided not to. Imagine what could have been!

Another thing I learned recently is that Walt Disney accidentally "kidnapped" then-vice president Richard Nixon and his family in 1959. He invited them to Disneyland to ride the new Monorail, but he left their Secret Service agents behind on the platform. The Monorail went for two laps around the park without any security. Luckily, nothing bad happened, but it must have been a scary moment for the agents.

If you do have custard with it, I recommend buying it or making Bird's custard. Each to their own, but making a custard from scratch isn't worth the bother, IMO, and it doesn't taste as good. Most people here just buy it now.

It wasn't a comedy either. It was a serious thriller. I remember reading that Cobra was spun out of the orignal idea/script for it.



Ghouls, vampires, werewolves... let's party.
I've learned about an app called Libby that allows you to download e-books from your local library to your phone or Kindle for free.

I don't know what you are talking about but a homemade egg custard is the bomb.
