Jaffa cakes are the best thing in the whole world.
That's a slight exaggeration. What about freshly cut grass or hearing the first cuckoo?

Both well and good in their place but I don't think they quite hit the spot when starving and suffering from PMT!

Have you ever heard such pretentious twaddle in your life? APART from on Bounty's other posts...

Freshly cut grass makes me sneeze and cuckoos give me a headache so there's just no competition is there?

White choc Jaffas with strawberry filling sounds lush! They could call them strawberries and cream flavour.

I agree
I bought some cheapo raspberry jaffa cakes from Lidl today - I'll let you know my verdict...

Don't expect a decent Pims substitute Smurfy. I had a right good sniff at a box the other day for traces of almond/marzipan.
Post by: smurfboy on March 16, 2006, 08:28:15 pm
There is no substitute for Pims biscuits, sadly...

Does anyone dunk their Jaffas? Personally I like mine with a glass of milk, no dunking.

Whereas shortbread fingers are made for dunking!
Yes, they dunk well.
Post by: chocolate chick on March 20, 2006, 03:41:31 pm
I eat a few jaffa cakes with a cup of tea but no, I don't dunk jaffa cakes ... wouldn't they go too soggy?
I don't think I have ever tried. I couldn't imagine it going very well. Lou might have tried it at some stage.

Walkers Shortbread is very good. A lot of shops up here in London sell that selection.

A few years ago I went to Disneyland Paris and even they sold a Walkers shortbread selection (allbeit in a Mickey Mouse tin). The biscuits were in the shape of Mickey Mouse ears.

I dont think jaffas are suited to dunking. But Fox's caramel shortbreads are - yum yum!

Have you tried dunking biscuits in a glass of cartoned orange juice? I recommend plain choc digestives for that purpose.
No I haven't tried that, next time I have some Fanta I will be sure to give it a go.

I meant pure orange juice from a carton. But Fanta is an interesting idea, I wonder if the bubbles would make a difference...

I have tried it and it doesn't work. Jaffas are not for dunking.
