Heinz Spotted Dick Sponge Pudding, 9.4-Ounce Cans (Pack of 6)

Don't just giggle at the can- open it and eat it!There is nothing more wonderful than Spotted Dick with lashings of custard and a good cup of strong tea with friends. YUM! I keep it in the cupboard and am ready for friends and tea at a moment's notice. This is a rich sponge cake with currents and savory rich tones of brown sugar. The chocolate and sticky Toffee and Treacle are all good too - when you can get them.I know the name seems a bit naughty--it just adds to the fun of offering some cultural engagement to our wonderful world. I do slip it into gifts and offer to bring dessert to friends. BUT I also love this line of products for the QUALITY!

Very odd product. Can says No GM ingredients (Genetically Modified?) but the ingredients include partially hydrogenated canola and palm oils. Yucky source of transfats so be aware that thsi imported product contains 2g trans fat per serving...and each can has 3.5 servings.Taste wise - in my opinion, tastes like soggy, wet fruitcake (not in any good way at all). WAY TOO SWEET and I even got a few bites with a sandy, gritty, crunch texture which was horrible and I can only hope it was from the raisins?!This product is not pleasant tasting at all so I am just not sure about all the other great reviews. But for my taste, I couldn't choke down even a few bites of this stuff. Only thing I appreciated from this was the few laughs from friends/family over the name of this Heinz product.

The is nothing more than a bread pudding. The real thing contains suet which is a prime ingredient for taste, smell, and texture.. just put lots of custard on it and looks the same.. but isn't even close to the real thing...

Not a pudding by American standards. But then again, the name itself is somewhat obscene by American standards. I found this treat very very sweet, and it has been a long long time since I have seen bread in a can. It tasted much better heating in the microwave and then pouring some cream or half and half on top.I give this out as a gift for Christmas and birthdays, and almost everyone loves it!!! But don't give it to anyone at work or where there is an HR department - I learned the hard way.

I was surprised that this was good at all coming out of a can from Heinz. Not quite the same as homemade, but what ever is? This was a little on the dry side, but still sweet and flavorful. If anything it will make a great gift or conversation piece.

On my girlfriends' upcoming birthday, I intend to give her a case of "Spotted Dick." And yes, she does have a sense of humor. The gift that keeps on giving (no pun intended pertaining to STD's) the Spotted Dick can be passed around at many "Rob Your Neighbor" giving events, office party's etc.All kidding aside, I did try an authentic Spotted Dick when in England a few years ago. Covered with a warm custard it was as"quite lovely" as our waitress said it woud be. If ever in England, I recommend you try to stifle the grin on your face and order a "lovely" Spotted Dick for dessert. You'll enjoy it.As for this product, I cannot honestly say how it tastes but like any dessert out of a can, I'm sure it is not as good as fresh. Assuming my girlfriend will not want to break up the case (you never know with her, she sometimes eager to try new things), I think I'll buy one of the individual tins off of Amazon ( they are even offered with an accompanying can of custard) and give it a taste. So, one way or the other I intend to draw the shades one evening, pop a spotted dick in the microwave for a few seconds, pour on the custard and reminisce.

It didn't remove the spots... Now what am I going to do with all of the sponges I bought?

Well i enjoy having this after supper but this was not as hard as I’m used to was more juicy than i remember but it’s always a tummy filler
