Those of you who live in this country have probably heard about this...... it's all over the news, in every paper, on the radio..... everywhere!
Council turns 'offensive' Spotted Dick into Spotted Richard to spare blushes of diners
From WalesOnline:
"Fed up staff at a council canteen have taken Spotted Dick off the menu because of “immature” comments.
The popular pudding has been re-named Spotted Richard for diners at Flintshire County Council’s offices in North Wales.
A spokesman said: “The correct title for this dish is ’Spotted Dick’. However, because of several immature comments from a few customers catering staff renamed the dish ’Spotted Richard’ or ’Sultana Sponge’.
“This was not a policy decision. Canteen staff simply acted as they thought best to put an end to unwelcome and childish comments, albeit from a very small number of customers.”
The dessert is made from suet, flour and dried fruit. The origin of its name has never been proved."
Even on YouTube!
Of course, I'm not at all embarrassed by the fact that it's the Council I work for....
So, what's next for PC food? Any suggestions?
