infrogmationI got two nifty little gifts today. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mshollie gave me a cd with a PDF of her new book "Myths America". Congratulations, Ms. Hollie!
It is the second gift, however, which inspires this week's puzzler.
My friend Beverly was recently in China, and sent me a small package of trivialities as examples of inter-cultural wackyness.
Included is a label for a product with some English text on it. The product is described in English as being "CUBIC PASTRY".
What word or phrase is more commonly used in English as the name for this product?
Two Froggy-points for a correct answer.
