I looked up spotted dick. It's made with lard. Lard makes everything delicious. But unfortunately it's terribly unhealthy. So I'm guessing spotted dick tastes rather good despite the name.
We used to get a range of sponge puddings at school, probably because they are cheap and easy to make. They all tasted good and custard added to that. I looked up dick (ooh, madame) and it's old British slang for pudding, so whenever that term was around must have been when this dish came about. So do ya’ll call banana pudding banana dick?

No - bananas were probably a much more recent import when the term 'dick' for pudding was no longer the thing. Replaced by 'pudding'.

I think calling something 'best' would be highly generous - it's all fairly basic stuff due to (i) the indigenous ingredients having limited flavour and (ii) it's not really a food culture - enterprise has always been the national goal and lunch and dinner are just distractions. Maybe the reason for the 2nd item is because we weren't distracted by the 1st. Well the Scots have haggis. Haggis?!
