Nope, yer thinking of King Cake in New Orleans for Mardi Gras. It has a dried bean hidden inside for breaking the teeth of the lucky recipient. And tastes yucky. The cake, not the bean. That tastes like blood and tooth schrapnel.

Oh yes baby, you are turning me on! I get cravings, urges, longings for them. I go on dangerous quests to giant truck stop plazas in search of that melty crumbly chewy ambrosiac mess from the gods. The 6-packs you buy in a box at the civilized supermarkets is NOT the same as the ones you have to forage thru at flea markets and gas stations to find.
EDIT: Serving suggestion is to set it on the dashboard in the sun til the plastic package swells up in an hour or so, then pop it open and deeply inhale the delicious aroma before swallowing the thing in 2 bites.
