It's About Time: Spotted Dick Renamed
Spotted Dick, the English delicacy with the most unappetizing name in the history of food, has been renamed Spotted Richard after being deemed "offensive." Some sensitive Brits are complaining about the name change, calling it "political correctness gone mad," but they shouldn't be taken seriously. Anyone who is perfectly okay with saying "Spotted Dick" in public, is clearly off their wagon. While Spotted Richard is a step up from the crude old name, it still comes off as wholly unappetizing. "Spotted" just doesn't seem like something we'd like to eat. It sounds diseased.
Why not name it something that people might want to order? Eventually you're going to have to rename Spotted Richard because people are going to wince at the "spotted" part. Save yourself some time and effort and go with Currant Pudding. At least that name won't make people gag.
YES, I WOULD LIKE TO SIGN THE PETITION AND GET PAID!
