I feel somewhat guilty, having scoffed a bar of Lindt's Excellence Intense Orange over the last few hours...almost tastes like Jaffa cakes though.

..but also goes down a treat with the Semillon Blanc.

It's to stir the Lea 'N Perrins and Tio Pepe Sherry of course.Does the job better than a paper umberella, ella, ella, ella-oh that's a Greek word but I can't remember what it means.
Celery is lovely dipped in Philly Light and a little sweet chill sauce

Well at least Dutch sailors like their Jaffa cakes:

Two Men Almost Starved, Saved By Jaffa Cakes

Exhausted by the high winds and waves 40 feet high, two sailors almost died of cold and starvation after losing their spear gun, which nearly sent them crashing into oil tankers. They were almost asleep when two Dutch men came to their aid. What with??? Jaffa cakes.
