While checking out the different canned food products that are available, this canned food item was found and looks interesting. I have no idea what the shelf life would be. It is probably similar to most other canned goods. You may want to check this out for your canned food storage to add some variety.
Heinz Spotted Dick
Spotted Dick is a steamed suet pudding containing dried fruit, usually currants. The dessert is especially popular in the United Kingdom, usually served either with custard or with butter and brown sugar. Spotted refers to the currants (which resemble spots), and Dick is a corruption of the word dough.

Thanks for stopping by and taking time to comment! I've got some left-over fruitcake...I just don't remeber what year it was made.

As to the shelf life of this odd (to Americans) named product, it'll probably outlive you.

Thanks. But you're preachin' to the choir here. Most people are well aware of the long shelf life of cans. Thanks for the reminder though.

Canned Dick sounds kind of like Grandma's Suet Pudding. Just missing the Butter Rum sauce. Found the recipe in her hand written cook book about 20 years ago. The sauce makes it.

I bought a can but the contents were a little limp. :)
