And she said, ‘…. And what about Battenberg?’
And I said, ‘I don’t know because I don’t know what Battenberg is.’
She said, “It’s a kind of cake. It has four pink and yellow squares in the middle and it has marzipan icing round the edge.’
And I said, ‘Is it a long cake with a square cross-section which is divided into equally-sized, alternatively coloured squares?’
And she said, ‘I think you could probably describe it like that.’
from The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon (2003). Highly Recommended.
