Years ago (and I mean years) Women's Bakery used to have them (along with their corn meal muffins in the orange cellophane package, but that's another craving) and the defunct The Little Pie Shop had them (craving number 2, TLPS's Eccles Cakes) but I haven't heard of a place that makes them anymore.

If so, they are a snap to make and I'm sure there's a recipe on Chow if not everywhere else on the net. You could try to new pastry shop in Kensington, I forget the name maybe something like Cat's Pastry shop? It's v. good.

Vol-au-vent are puff pastry shells filled with something savoury. Sorry, I can't help with tracking any down.

I would eat the filling first and then peel off layer by layer and save the cap for last. I imagine french bakeries like Ma Maison or St. Honore may carry them but I can't imagine liking fresh ones more than my frozen nostalgia!
