A different recipe book, that covers this area, is "Lobscouse and
Spotted Dog: Which Is a Gastronomic Companion to the Aubrey/Maturin
Novels" by Grossman and Grossman, foreword by Patrick O'Brian. "A
scholarly (though often hilarious) triumph of culinary anthopology."
(http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0393320944)

Which we do no recall having seen Spotted Dick, not Boiled Baby, nor
owt such else, served cold.
