Say goodbye to Dick. Spotted Dick, that is.
The British-birthed dessert that's made all us juveniles-at-heart snicker has been renamed to: Spotted Richard.

Michael Fabricant, Lichfield's Conservative MP is not pleased with these developments:
"Call a dick a dick, I say!"
Well, that's my life philosophy... but we're talking about desserts here.
In case you are unaware, Spotted Dick is a steamed suet pudding containing dried fruit and most likely originated in the middle of the 19th Century. The "spotted" part refers to the currants, which look like spots; the "dick" part is derived from the word dough.
Who cares if the dessert is named Spotted Dick. I'm upset because in our American translation, this is false advertising! I expect to see some spotted phallic thingie on my plate for my consumption. Don't tell me dough is dick and now I'm thinking doughnuts are "dicknuts." Then there's "cookie dick ice cream", "pizza dick".... nooooo!
Just leave your dick alone, would ya?
