Spotted WHAT??!!

While merrily grocery shopping the other day, I was cruising down the ethnic aisle to pick up some salsa.
You know the aisle, it has Asian, Mexican, Indian, British, etc type food.

Hmmm, I wonder what Brit is homesick for this??

(Blog fan, Patti, was on the ball! She looked it up on the World Wide Web: "It's described as a suet pudding (I think that's some kind of meat fat, ugh) with dates and raisins in it. They think it was originally called Spotted 'Ding short for pudding, and it just morphed into the peculiar and not very appetizing name you see today on your store shelf. "
