Flying High With a Fly Pie High Five

I haven't seen a "fly pie" on the menu for a while.

It is an entity so rare you have to go all the way to the 5th page of your Google searches to identify what it is. 
OK that is not exactly a tireless hundred hours in the vaults of the British library, but clicking on that Next several times seemed both tedious and exhausting. It's lucky I was sitting down.

In the end I relented to qualifying the search term with the word " Yorkshire"

And guess what? Those swine from Lancashire seem to be claiming it is a nickname for the Eccles cake. Unbelievable!.

But we know it to be the currant square.
I didn't know it had other nicknames .... Dead Fly Pie, Flies Graveyard, Flies Cemetery.

Perhaps you know of similarly morbidly named confections?
Why not write in and tell us!

Actually. Don't bother.
This isn't a democracy.
