It was a boring wednesday stroll thru a super market when something in the food isle had me spit out my Cafe Mocha. Took another look at the product--a pudding, to be sure and it did say : 'Spotted D...'. Wikipedia chronicles the *ahem* British delicacy (dead serious - no pun intended)..

Coordinates: 54° N 4° WThe British Isles (Irish: Oileáin Iarthair Eorpa, Manx: Ellanyn Goaldagh, Scottish Gaelic: Eileanan Breatannach, Welsh: Ynysoedd Prydain) is a group of islands off the northwest coast of continental Europe comprising Great Britain, Ireland and a number of smaller islands. The term British Isles is controversial in relation to Ireland where its use is objected to by many people and by the government of the Republic of Ireland. Its use is also avoided in relations between the governments of the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom, who generally employ the term these islands.There are two sovereign states located on the islands: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The group also includes the Crown dependencies of the Isle of Man and, by tradition, the Channel Islands, although the latter are not physically a part of the archipelago. There are other common uncertainties surrounding the extent, names and geographical elements of the island group.
