I hadn't had Jaffa cakes for awhile so got some today

I didn't know there is a new lemon & lime variety. Of course I just had to try it and it's quite yum

I love Jaffa cakes, I can easily eat way too many in one go

Also Sainsburys own brand are dairy free so my son can eat them too, which is cool. I always thought mcvities were the nicest but I guess I've got used to Sainsburys as when I had Mcvities recently I thought they tasted artificial

Aww, Jaffa Cakes were my favourite biscuits! I wish they were vegan

(I refuse to call a Jaffa Cake a 'cake'! )

Are there really no vegan Jaffa cakes?

I guess they must all have egg in

I call them biscuits, although my daughter insists they are cakes

Nope, none that I'm aware of . You're right about the egg. My heart jumped last night when I saw jaffa cakes in Holland & Barrett and I rushed over to read the ingredients, all excited, but alas, they were not suitable . (I think it was only gluten or dairy that they were free from, but I can't remember). I tell myself though that one day I will get round to having a go at making my own huge vegan-style jaffa cake and scoff the lot!

Mmmmmmm I love Jaffa cakes.....I can eat a whole box at one sitting.
I'm not keen on the Lime ones. Have you seen the raspberry ones........I haven't tried them, can't say I fancy them.

I wonder if they give you free boxes of Jaffa cakes to try to wean you off 'em.

I think it's a cake

I was always told that old cakes go hard and old biscuits go soft.

Jaffers go hard. (kinky )

Hence the infamous jaffa cakes tax tribunal


You could have saved the country a lot of money !

I'd like the 12 inch jaffa cake though

The raspberry ones are disgusting.

I like the standard Jaffa Cakes though.

Believe it or not, the Morrisons Bettabuy ones are much nicer than the McVities ones. The Cadbury's ones are just not worth it.

Jaffa Cakes are an odd commodity in this house. I don't like dark chocolate, and my mother doesn't like orange, yet a packet of Jaffa Cakes doesn't last very long at all!

Hmph, lemon and lime and raspberry jaffa cakes. It's wrong I tell ye, all wrong! Jaffa cakes are meant to be orange - you can't mess with the powers that be!

That is certainly an easy thing to do, do it quite often myself, thats the trouble once you start its very hard to stop.
