> The OP was referring to a [food item](http://freespace.virgin.net/daz.bert/mirror/rudefood/food/faggots.htm), not cigarettes for those who are puzzled. I intend to try faggots (among many other things) if I ever go visit the UK. [Spotted Dick](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_dick). (Does Spotted Dick taste much like bread pudding?) [Faggot](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faggot_%28food%29).

Oh My God! I don’t use he expression often but it is called for in a situation like this.

**You can get spotted dick in a can?!** Eeeewwwwwwwwww! :eek: real spotted dick is bad enough! That’s someting you don’t get in Australia! And people think we’re weird! Over here you have to make your own. And I admit I do make it (once a year, on fathers day). But (shock horror) I put chocolate in it.
