Pasties? Ew. Covering something in pastry does not make it suitable for human consumption.

However... japs sound extremely yummy. Mmm. That sounds like a good quest for the weekend! :)

If you find anywhere down here that sells them, tell me!

No problem... for a small fee, of course. ;)

(assuming I have any joy, of course... but I'm quite determined)

Well, they do exist. I found this:

http://www.botham.co.uk/wordsearch.html

- a wordsearch game, with "chocolate jap" as one of the phrases. Also "ecliar" (and it's spelled that way in the letter grid too!)

Botham's are based in Whitby.

You can buy them online from India:

and there's a hint about how you might make them here:

Only other reference I could find online was someone referring to them in a Manchester newspaper. But I asked my Mancunian wife if she'd ever heard of them, and she hasn't either.

Mmmm.... Botham's japs are great. I checked earlier, and their online shop only does non-immediately-perishable things :(

I don't think I'd want one after it had come from India. Not that I've anything against Indian japs, just I think it'd go off in the post.
