Japs seem to be a northern thing, I expected you'd have 'em in Leeds.
They're small, round cakes - bout 3" high and 3" diameter. Imagine two layers of light biscuity stuff, with very thick layer of soft halfway-between-mousse-and-cream chocolately stuff between them. Cover the whole thing with pale-coloured chocolate cream and vermicelli.
They really are quite unlike anything else, which is why I miss them. No idea why they're called japs either.
You're right about the iced buns. This one had white icing with pink stripes which were sufficiently pale I didn't notice them. They tasted cerise, though.
If you have a Greggs nearby they should do cornedbeef pasties.
