But here we see some British food that is not likely to be sold in France anytime soon.
See what happens when Vinny decides to be mischievous?
There is a serious scientific study behind the headline to which ye link, bjd. (I'll let ye look up the science in yer own good time.)
It has also been named Variegated Richard. Still tastes good - whatever it's called, as long as the creator isn't a skinflint with the fruit.
P.S. Humo(u)r doesn't always travel well across the Atlantic - my post (30) is meant as humo(u)r :)

I wonder why, bb. Tell me: do ye think anyone on Earth, other than the English, would eat a dessert called spotted dick? (I'm not being racist: some of my best friends are not really white.)
Going back to a previous conversation, I don't understand why anyone would want to ever eat pears and parsnips - either.
I never had a problem with spotted dick. Neither the taste or the name. 'Tis a great title though - I agree.

First, as you note, humor doesn't always survive the translatlantic voyage. I was joking. I'm aware that spotted dick was nev the national dish of Britain. It always ran a close second to toad in the hole, if I'm not mistaken.
But:
beans on toast died off in the late 90s
Word hasn't reached this poster or the others on that thread, or .this one (who, I note without comment apparently thinks of Bisto as a health food), or any of the others here.
And this countrywoman of yours, writing a few weeks ago, seems to think that the English still eat spotted dick, and that you all would be wise to emulate their eating habits.

Not so salty as Marmite
I've had Vegemite. How can Marmite be saltier? They haven't figured out how to make something saltier than salt, have they?
Oh , I meant to mention that apparently my local supermarket has abandoned its Britsh Isles section. The Latino section has expanded and taken it over. Inka Kola where the dandelion and burdock used to be.
I thght it was clear what I meant. Vegemite was the saltiest foodstuff I've ever tasted. It's hard for me to believe that there is somethng on the market, marketed for human consumption and not as an ice melter, that is saltier than that.
But I will take your word for it and pass on the Marmite when offered.
