I think if you went into a restaurant in the US and said, "Do you have spotted dick?", you might be in for some odd looks. Not to mention toad in the hole, bangers and blood, etc. Of course, all I know about this comes from BBC shows on PBS...maybe it's all fast food everwhere in the world these days.
