Reminds me of my Irish brother in law. Whenever he comes to Spain he refuses to drink Hornyman's Tea or eat Bimbo Bread.

I have a very good one: In Spain the Mitsubishi Pajero had to be renamed as Montero, because "pajero" means.. well, wanker. The funny thing is that they didn't find out until it was too late, and you can still see many "pajeros" around.

doggett-  I remember on NPR about 10 years ago  they had the best segment with thes ebritish people talking about how some people wanted to change the name to "spotted richard"  because british poeple are polite and too embarassed to ask for spotted dick pudding.

then they had this guy from the pudding tasting society that was lke "we shall never allow them to change the name!"

the rest of hte interview was the baffled american interviewer asking the guy about the pudding society and what they did and how they survived

Never fear.  The following is the worst photo I found while Googling "spotted dick" images, until I hit page 6. At that point, it was veering into territory I do NOT want in my head.

I think it is supposed to be some form of haggis.  Personally, I kept seeing that maggot Geena Davis birth to in "The Fly".

Most of the pictures of spotted dick made it look appealing but I've tried it and...meh.  But then Brits love Turkish Delight and that stuff tastes like chocolate-covered soap to me.  But I love me some British women!!!!

You just HAD to mention it. 

You owe me the lunch I just lost.  But not right now.  Later.  MUCH later.

Nope.

I'd avoid typing in decomposing Penis, if I were you.
Ah, what the heck, you'll only do it anyway.
