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.

Looks like some sort of southern muck to me.

I have eaten that before. No idea what it is called.

The fuck is a London Cheesecake?

I've never seen one IN London though

I think it's called that because the grated coconut looks like grated cheese?

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?

It's not even a cake!

look in the windows of traditional London bakeries, ones that have been in families for years.

Mimi, this changes everything.

I want you to stop dreaming about me.

Nope. I'd totally smash it though.

And it's not a Cheese cake.

What's more unhealthy than puff pastry covered in icing? Maybe if you put some cigarettes inside it

Never seen one in London, nor the SW suburbs 'ends' I used to live in 'rep'

They don't look nice. I don't like coconut.

They're actually really nice. You can get them with marshmallow on instead of coconut, if you're coconut shy. .

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'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.

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.
