I remember they used to sell it in the bakery opposite the old Park Hotel at Northumberland Park.Its a light cake ,like a maderia made with pink icing.Originally made in the Quakers house in Tottenham High road for as a treat for the poor kids of the area.The icing was coloured and flavoured from beries off a tree in the garden of the Quaker house.I will look it up and find out exactly what berries they are.
Greggs sell it ,if you want to know what it looks like.
EDIT
NN beat me to it.
We used to play in the Spider Web park as kids. There used to be tennis courts there back then...next to the old Greentrees hospital.Strange how a lot of people see Tottenham and Palmers Green as being miles apart, geographically.
Yet the two areas actually border each other.

I lived in Maryland road ,N22years back, which borders N13.Use to love a walk to the ground,up Maryland Rd ,onto Wolves lane, then White Hart Lane.
Particurly enjoyable early and late season.
Have done that before, but would normally go further north, Silver Street and Hedge Lane, because I'd be heading back to the Whole Hog pub.Yup, I've done that before. Did you go Devonshire Hill Lane, through the park and on to Tottenhall Road? As in on the way back?!
Is that the old Spoons pub? Never understood why they closed that one,then a few years later opened the Alfred Herring just up the road.Have done that before, but would normally go further north, Silver Street and Hedge Lane, because I'd be heading back to the Whole Hog pub.
Did you do the drop going forward? I believe you have a choice in which way you go?Just done the stadium tour, sky walk and edge drop, finished off in the Pie & Mash shop.
Cracking grub and a nice chap.
Never had liquor before so nothing to compare it to, but I loved it.

In Canada liquor is booze.
I do have her number. I’ll ask her if I can pass it on.Chamonix is the mecca for climbing in the Alps, especially if you're a Brit but very busy, tend to avoid in my older years.
Nice thighs you say? Likes nuts you say? Do you have her number?
Well, have you ever eaten oysters?I always worry when people tell me something tastes like shit. How do they know what shit tastes like.?
Oysters for dinner?The comments on this last page are entertaining me, but probably not wise before eating dinner
Ketchup?Cold pork pie on a white plate, cut into small segments (the pie, not the plate), with a very large dollop of ketchup to dip into. Heaven. I'm a vegetarian, but I can still remember the good old days.

How can the liquor be tasteless and delicious??Haven't read the thread but the pie crust must be rock hard and the base must be soggy.
Liquor must look like frog spawn and be virtually tasteless.
#Delicious!!
