Hey now I LOVE live and onions! LOL I had that at a restaurant yesterday. My husbands is so much better tho! He fries up lots of onions in butter. Love it!

I'm also very partial to liverworst and brunsweiger spreads. My dad loved liver and I did everything my dad did. so I guess I learned to love it early on..

I love to try vegemite and see what I think of it. I quite often like the things other people don't like.

The title makes me want to throw up. Gross. Texas boys would get a big laugh looking at that. I thought that was cute the lady calling it "Take away." In Texas we get take out. We order pizza and have it delivered, it is still take out. Other people in other states say order in or order out. This always sounded strange to me. Funny the phrases we all have for things and the foods we eat. A true Texan doesn't put beans in their chili but up north & midwest they do & some eat it over spaghetti. Wonder what ya'll would think of our Tex-Mex cusine. Big wide world out there but we all sit down to the table just the same. Would love to visit Australia.

according to Wickipedia

Spotted dick is a steamed suet pudding, popular in Britain, containing dried fruit (usually currants or raisins) commonly served with custard. Spotted refers to the dried fruit (which resemble spots) and dick may be a contraction or corruption of the word pudding (from the last syllable) or possibly a corruption of the word dough[1] or dog, as "spotted dog" is another name for the same dish with the use of plums rather than currants. Another explanation offered for the word "dick" is that it is the German word for "thick."

Yep I looked it up on WIKI, too, I didnt want to google it.
It is sold at Meijer and It sits next to the Vegemite.
So its kind of a Dried fruit pudding It don't sound very good, and it very expensive for a tiny little can... soomething like $10.
So has anyone tried it.

Haha!! This is my husbands FAVORITE pudding! Served with LOTS of custard!! Marmite is also derived from the hops used in Beer making! The factory is in Burton-upon-Trent in the middle of England the home of the Brewing Industry!!
