Since I am an American, I don't understand what many of the foods listed in the books are. So, maybe we can ask and get answers here. Also, we could list what foods our own countries would have at their feasts.
Yorkshire pudding is a batter mix (eggs, flower and water) shaped like a little bowl. I had a couple with my dinner a couple of days ago. Spotted dick is like bread pudding mixed with currents.
Who says I can't multi-task? I walked and breathed at the same time at least once today.
Thanks Mike. We are just not used to the foods, so the feast isn't quite as great for us. Americans would probably add fried chicken, ham, and ribs to the feast. We are also a cheesecake country-I am not too crazy about it.
thanks for clearing up what "spotted dick" was. another question: what's treacle/treacle tart? i'm not sure if i heard about it in the HP books or another book by a british author

Sorry if I sound condescending when I explain but I don't know how much you guys know about treacle or tarts. Tarts can be big or small, they're like lidless pies that you can put jam and stuff in. Treacle's obviously just like a syruppy sugary mix. You guys have mince pies at Christmas don't you? Just think of those but with no top and treacle instead of mince.
