The comments in my previous post made me come over all nostalgic for Navy food.
- Babies Heads
- Train Smash
- Shit on a Raft
- Niggers in the Snow
- Chinky Wedding Cake
- Cheesey-Hammy-Eggy
- Nicki Lauda cheese (smoked austrian)
- Herrings in
All these and more I have ate. Never had elephants feet.
But no Spotted Dog?
Oh – of course there was spotted dog. I thought it was too obvious to include. Spotted Dog is quite common in England. It’s not even especially nautical.
Oops. Was confusing my Spotted Dog with my Spotted Dick. They are different.

Hmmm… Suet pudding. You weren’t far wrong with the guess at blood and fat.
[fixed link to Rum Rations] the title of that thread is ‘scran’. Haven’t heard that word for a long time but I can’t remember if it is nautical.
And if you want these flavors at your own table:
