Jaffa Cakes
 

I was in Food Basics this weekend when I spotted "Delicje" european biscuits (blue packet) - they are identical to Jaffa Cakes but have apricot or raspberry jelly instead of orange.

There are 10 "jaffa's" to each box - and cost $1 !

Yum

;)

Re: Jaffa Cakes
 

it's threads like this which make ashamed of once being British.

Re: Jaffa Cakes
 

Once? Why, what have you turned into? Lighten up ffs, not every post on BE has to be about what you find interesting. If you can't say something nice and all that...:p

Misery guts.

Re: Jaffa Cakes
 

Hello faceache :wub:

Re: Jaffa Cakes
 

I really like Jaffa Cakes. Sometimes I'll eat three or four in one afternoon!

Re: Jaffa Cakes
 

It's comments like that that makes Britain ashamed that you were once British.;)

Re: Jaffa Cakes
 

My husband really likes Jaffa cakes too! Sometimes he can eat two or three packets in an afternoon! :rofl:

And my mother once told my husband that if you eat enough Jaffa Cakes, it makes your semen taste different - needless to say he wanted to know if it was true! :o And no I don't want to know how my mother knew :unsure:

Re: Jaffa Cakes
 

You've renouced your British citizenship? How do you intend to retire to France if you have no legal status?

Here's where I find out you are German:p

Re: Jaffa Cakes
 

So why do I laugh when I hear them state "European style" :rofl:

Re: Jaffa Cakes
 

Never mind the Jaffa cakes, how am I going to cope without Soda bread, potato bread and Tayto crisps!!!!!!

Think I'll have to learn to bake. :D

Re: Jaffa Cakes
 

Why would you not be able to get soda bread?

Re: Jaffa Cakes
 

You can buy soda bread and potato bread here, not Tayto tho, i haven't found them yet...YET!! :D



It's an Irish thing, we miss our fry ups...;)

Re: Jaffa Cakes
 

Not bothered about the Tayto, but where did you get potato bread and sodas?

Re: Jaffa Cakes
 

There is a fabulous bakery in Brampton, and one closer to me in St Catherines...i'm sure there are others near Guelph too. Someone will come to your rescue, :thumbup:

Re: Jaffa Cakes
 

A good jaffa cake story, brief version.

Last xmas, wife and I had pack, no gifts.
Well, I thought, not going to get caught with that one!

Xmas day - wife opened ny gift to her - diamond necklace!
I opened mine from wife - yes you guessed it! jaffa cakes!

Then I was expected to share!!!

Re: Jaffa Cakes
 

Think yourself lucky i'm not the wife, i'd have wrestled you to the ground and stole them....;)

Re: Jaffa Cakes
 

There's a fantastic european supermarket called Santa Barbara Market on Commercial Drive in Vancouver that also sells them:

The apricot ones are really nice, I actually prefer them to jaffa cakes!

They do a whole bunch of other nice stuff too, like blackcurrent juice. Much tarter and stronger than ribena though, but a bit of water and sugar and it tastes around the same. A lot cheaper than imported ribena though.
