I was shocked to read today that Flintshire County Council had banned the term ‘Spotted Dick’ from their menus. Replacing it with Spotted Richard.
I am all for political correctness where people are being abused or excluded, but ‘Spotted Dick’ is just funny (and tasty). It made me wonder what happened to the ‘Wimpy Bender Brunch’ a favorite of Elton John and David Furnish.
Obviously I am now worried what is going to happen next, are Harvester going to have to withdraw the very popular ‘Beef Curtain Platter’ from the menu. Will we ever see ‘Hair Pie’ on the specials board at TGI Fridays again.
We won’t let this development affect mealtimes in the Childs household, Angela will still be getting her Raspberry Ripples out and I will serving up the odd portion of ‘Meat and two veg’.
