Suet's just the shortening. There's other stuff in it -- flour, eggs, alcohol, spices.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Isn't it basically congealed white animal fat?
I guess - but it's only like butter, or lard, or whatever. And it's not like that's the only ingredient
It's a dumpling type thing. But sweet. I prefer Bread and Butter pudding, myself, but Spotted Dick is nice enough. Very stodgy, but sometimes that's what you want.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Wait, it's log-shaped and we're wondering why it's called "dick"?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
The town inside the stone circle? That would be Avebury.
That's the one. The Red Lion sounds right too. I don't remember it being log shaped and I think that's something that I wouldn't forget if it were.

The Red Lion always sounds right.
As in, there's always one nearby.

Glad to help. Stone circles are a minor interest of mine.

No, when I've had it I didn't noticed log shaped. Cooked as a great big sticky mass, cube or round or whatever shape your cooked pot is, and then served in big lumps. And you don't notice the suet because it's hot and melted, and therefore see-through. IIRC, there's suet or similar in the mincemeat you put in mincepies, too, and that's not bad.

Have you seen what eating these kind of puddings makes the English look like?

Why yes! My mirror and I are well acquainted. But thank you for asking.
