Hullo, I'm not sure if I've asked this here before at some point, but after a chat with a friend yesterday about these, I thought I'd ask if anyone recognises them, or knows what they're called (if there are other names around) as I'm fairly sure they are particularly regional. Edit: should have said: it's puff pastry and sugar, sometimes with jam, or currants if you're a deviant, covered in icing and grated coconut. |

I uploaded it into Amazon's Rekognition image analysis system, to see if that could work it out. Quote: Food 80.7% Grain 80.7% Rice 80.7% Agaric 76.2% Amanita 76.2% Fungus 76.2% Mushroom 76.2% Plant 76.2% Cream 63.8% Creme 63.8% Dessert 63.8% Field 50.5% Grass 50.5% Grassland 50.5% Good news! it's almost certainly food. Bad news - it may well also be a mushroom or some Grassland. |

I've never seen a puff pastry version, but I've seen coconut buns. |

I've only heard of them referred to as 'London cheesecakes' on the internet, but then I'm from London, so it may be like 'Chinese food' is to Chinese people just 'food'. But I've never seen one outside of London, which is why I asked if they were known as something else in other places. |

Post subject: | Re: Foodstuffs identifier |
I think it's called that because the grated coconut looks like grated cheese? Goodness knows. I remember asking my grandmother why they were called cheesecakes when I was about five, and that's what she told me. |
Author: | Cras [ Tue Aug 15, 2017 17:22 ] |
Post subject: | Re: Foodstuffs identifier |
But it also looks quite a bit like grated coconut, what with it being grated coconut, so possibly calling it a coconut cake would make more sense? |

You can still buy them all over London as I checked with my mother and asked her to bring some up for Darwin's birthday. They probably aren't stocked in hipster artisanal pop-up bakeries, mind. |

Apparently some branches of Greggs stock them. So, has anyone here actually tried one? |

Nope. I'd totally smash it though. |

Reminds me of Manchester tart. As noted by my friend Pete, who hailed from Manchester and was... ahem... a particularly large man, "That's not from Manchester. If they made that in Manchester, I wouldn't be as fat as I am." Which also had coconut in. I'm spotting a theme here. |

I don't like coconut. Yeah, that's because you're not real Londoners. I was born in Queen Charlotte's, along with Harry Potter, Dr Who and the Queen (Helen Mirren). I bet they all know what a cheesecake is. They're actually really nice. You can get them with marshmallow on instead of coconut, if you're coconut shy. Hahahaha. |
