Its just a thing we say when someone is telling you something that could be construed as something terribly rude! but its said in a joke way not to offend..

Is there treatment for spotted dick?

Well, I put some cream on it.

Speaking of cream, here is a copy of part of a post on a thread regarding Sherlock Holmes.

Although I didn't start the thread, I did take it over

"A horribly fascinated Holmes made the mistake, particularly in the presence of the ladies, of asking about the driver’s second signature dish.

“Well, sir, that would be my Spotted Dick”

A deep silence descended on the room.

The occupants also kept very quiet.

The cabdriver’s eyes glazed over at the memory, giving them the aspect of two boiled eggs in aspic

“I only ever produced my Spotted Dick in the Officer’s Mess. Such a sight was not for the common soldier, much as he was used to seeing all manner of stomach-churning things on the field of battle”

Miss O’Hara blushed that shade of red which gave rise to her nickname, and which was to stay with her long after she had gone with the wind.

Mrs Hudson merely smirked, whilst the men paled, started a low whistle and looked everywhere but at the driver.

Unaware of the affect his pronouncement had produced he proceeded on, lemming like, to the edge of the abyss

“The officers all agreed that they had seen nothing quite like it. Its fame even spread back to Blighty and many a new subaltern arriving fresh from England would shyly ask me to show him my Spotted Dick. Even the M.O. was amazed saying that in all his years serving in all manner of countries, mine would surely win first prize. He even gave me some cream to put on it, but I refused, telling him that the only thing to go on a Spotted Dick should be nice thick custard”
