As cups and spoons come in various sizes determined by the manufacturer, such a "translation" could lead to a rather unappetising outcome.
Why not just use your scales and the quantities by weight?

I went out to dinner in a pub near me, they do a great Sunday lunch, anyway on the sweet menu was spotted Richard!! I asked what it was and was told it was spotted dick, this was said in a very a quite voice by the young girl, who by the way couldnt stop laughing)

Apparently it is offensive to call it spotted dick now and Tescos have renamed it ( this is just another bit of our world going mad.

I ordered spotted dick in a rather loud voice. It doesnt quite have the same ring about it asking for spotted Richard ;o))

Codpiece pudding maybe?

If you ever see the suit of armour made for the young King Henry VIII, you'll understand....

Actually, the measurements for the ingredients were also given in ounces which is pretty easy to use in an American kitchen. If you don;t have a kitchen scale, a postal scale will do, just make sure you lay a large piece of parchement over the top to keep it clean.


I once served a huge Irish dinner to my husband and two of his friends from, one from Italy and the other an American. I didn't have time to set out different courses, so I laid everything on the table Buffet style including the Hot Custard sauce for the steamed pudding. I had to go somewhere for half an hour and when I came back, I saw the other men with custard sauce on their vegetables!

I love a spotted dick after my faggots in gravy!
