My chocolate mousse cake is something to be savored, not shared.

Spotted dick is a cylindrical pudding popular in Britain, containing dried fruit and commonly served with custard. It is made from a flat sheet of suet pastry sprinkled with currants and raisins, which is then rolled up into a circular pudding

Runny pudding, double dipping and now spotted dick. I guess it'll be sloppy seconds next.

Nor do I! I wash them before. No sense in dirtying up a Perfectly Clean Dick.

^^That reminds me of a joke I heard years ago...

An Army guy and an Air Force guy were in a public restroom. After the Army guy finished urinating, he went to the sink and washed this hands. The Air Force guy finished and walked towards the door.

The Army guy said "Hey--we were taught in the Army to wash our hands after we take a piss." The Air Force guy turned to him and said "We were taught in the Air Force not to piss on our hands."

Try Camambert dwatina.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camembert

Quote:

"Camembert de Normandie" is required by law to be made only with unpasteurized milk…….. The cheese is made by inoculating warmed milk with mesophilic bacteria, then adding rennet and allowing the mixture to coagulate……. The surface of each cheese is then sprayed with an aqueous suspension of the mold Penicillium camemberti and the cheeses are left to ripen for a legally-required minimum of three weeks.

I recently had some that was basically a liquid. The point being that you can't hurt it with more bacteria. You'd just invent a new cheese. Very Happy

On the other hand British cheeses are so hard they're used to coat tanks and make them invulnerable to high explosive missiles.

With cheese that hard, they could probably drop it from bombers and wreak havoc.

Spotted Dick or Richard in polite circles, I like mine spread with butter and covered in sugar, of course there is plain suet pudding without the mixed fruit, use to have syrup over that, if not used and hard used with a fry up, surprising the left over food that made another meal, war time rationing comes into its own in this day and age.
