Oh, is it like a burger van type thing?
I can't help but think this thread is going to end up in a bloody Jason Manford routine, or something. 'Eeh, do you remember spangles!' etc.

Not quite, describing it, it does sound horrible, it's a large transit van, you step on the back and it's like a little station he works at...
It's honestly not as bad as it sounds.

At last, someone in the universe who knows what this is! Did you ever have it with mint custard, Nil? Now THAT was good.
Nope, always pink. I've never seen/had mint custard.

Well you've kind of only 'half' lived then 
Pink is also good though - the concrete is the main thing, just the texture of it *slurps*

That seems fairly easy actually. Thing is though I'm just willing to bet, though it'll be nice, it won't taste anywhere near as good as the school version. Damn worth a try though.

DAMN no! I ain't one of them religions!
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, baaaaaaaacon!
Actually - bacon CAKES??? Ermm, yum?
It's not actaully a cake! It's just a name because of the fact it's doughy and the shape. It's basically a doughy triangle of cheese, ketchup, and bacon.
