Jaffa Cakes

1 Attachment(s)

Just to let those of you who are Jaffa Cake peeps know, that I happened upon an imported version in "The Bargain Shop" last week!:cake: They are every bit as good as the real thing and available in Orange or cherry flavour. At 97c for a pack of about 12, I hit the jackpot! They're called " Delicje" and hail from Poland.

:eek:

I think you know you're fat when you start counting Jaffa Cakes as one of your daily five fruit and veg. ;)

More importantly, is it a cake or a biscuit?

Best thing to do is bite around the biscuit, then suck the chocolate off, and hey presto you're left with the jaffa:rofl:
A pensioner taught me that one:blink:

Didn't they decide that it was a cake?

Because biscuits go soggy when stale and cakes go dry and hard.

Jaffa cakes definitely go hard and dry if you leave them long enough.

I thought they put Cake in the name to avoid a higher tax that biscuits are subject to. Something like that anyway.
