PUDDING VISUALS

Now there’s a headline I probably never thought I’d write. Anyway, for those of you curious as to what a spotted dick actually looks like, here’s an unhinged webpage with visuals of various puddings depicted in Patrick O’Brian’s novels. The “spotted dog” is a dead-ringer for the spotted dick. Slightly more alarming is a picture of a pudding called a Drowned Baby. I’m not sure I want to ask what’s in it.
