   By spotted dick, I'm talking about the dessert of course.  I figured since it's been far too long since we've had a dinner party on hubpages, I figured I'd start one.  Who wants to join me in having a nice dinner party on hubpages, while dining on this delicious spotted dick that you see in the picture.

         Yes please do.  It wouldn't be much of a dinner party without refreshments.  Besides, spotted dick tastes great with tea.

            I like orange spice tea. How about you? What would you recommend?

               Hmm that's a good question.  I'm kind of partial to green tea myself, but I never tried orange spice tea before. 
               I might have to try it sometime. 
               
               edit:  Although I heard lots of cream and sugar in one's tea makes a good combination with spotted dick.

   When I first saw the post, I was thinking of SOMETHING ELSE entirely.  However, when I saw what you meant, well........I decided to bring some nice cidered tea to the occasion.  However, BEFORE dessert, let's have some dinner: 5 roasted capons with oyster and cornbread stuffing, wild rice, peas, buttermilk biscuits, and arugula salad with creamy buttermilk dressing.  For creating a musical atmosphere with ambience, we shall play some classical music; perhaps Night on Bald Mountain by Mussorgsky and Ravel and a Fifth of Beethoven.  Another good musical piece for the party would be Marian Anderson's arias e.g. Ave Maria.

   When I was in 5th grade there was a boy in our class who had spent some time in England as a child. One day we went around the room and said our favorite dessert, and of course, he said his favorite was spotted dick. Everyone started snickering, except for me because I was so horribly innocent.
   
   I had no idea what was so funny and kept envisioning British people eating dalmatian-styled dessert.
   
   So there's a random, tangential story for you.

   Did anyone remember to bring the custard? You can't eat a large lump of spotted dick without a generous helping of creamy custard.

      Oh don't you know it.  That's why I came prepared and brought plenty of custard for the spotted dick.    Besides, it wouldn't be much of a dinner party without it.
