Geoff:
Yes, you're right. Treacle tart, chocolate gateau and spotted dick. 
It's Ron trying to tempt Hermione just after she learns about the 
House-Elves at Hogwarts. (GOF "The Triwizard Tournament" p.162 UK 
edition).

Thanks for the lead.

It is yummy, especially in the winter on a cold day, although I like 
it with lashings of single cream.
