Jaffa cakes are remarkably low in fat and calories, much less than any equivalent cake, biscuit or chocolate. 46 calories per cake!

There was a famous court case a few years ago about whether they were biscuits or cakes - something to do with VAT, I believe.
) and I've been convinced by a friend that they're cakes. You see, biscuits go soft when they're stale and cake goes hard. Jaffa cakes go hard when they're stale, ergo they're cakes. I think that's brilliant logic... ...mind you, perhaps I'm just easily impressed. ![]()

Has anyone tried the Polish version. They come in orange, cherry, or raspberry.
For $1CDN a packet, dirt cheap and really tasty. |

I think they must have been limited edition. At first I think they were only available in Ireland. I found them in a few shops over here towards the end of last year, but haven't seen them since Christmas.
Shame, they were the nicest ones I've tasted. I'm a purist....it has to be the originals for me. I tried the lime ones once.....didn't like them much. I wouldn't touch the raspberry ones. ![]() Quote:

They are most definitely cakes.
I'm a purist and don't engage with these fruit variations. How could you possibly improve upon orange, anyway?

I agree. Also you can't really call them Jaffa cakes if they aren't orange, surely?

Lime cakes or Raspberry cakes don't have the same ring to them do they?
