Spotted dick has long been a source of amusement for diners – but now seems to be so much so that waiters in the Houses of Parliament dare not say the name of the pudding out loud. The Daily Telegraph has learnt that staff working in Strangers’ Dining Room, the 19th-century restaurant used by MPs to entertain guests, have resorted to using the name “Spotted Richard” in order to spare the clientele their blushes. Fuck me it's political correctness gone mad. What next? Spotted Dick = Spotted Richard Brown Sauce = Ethnically-diverse sauce Black Pudding = POBO (Pudding of Black Origin) BLT Sandwich = LGBT Sandwich Stop the world I want to get off - woof.
