Laura007 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 i was asked to do a survey today, well a taste test actually on jaffa cakes. (did they pick the right person or what?! ) well anyway it seems that there will be competition to the great mcvities jaffa cake. "whom" i hear you cry. well it seems cadbury's are trying their luck. verdict...................well i dont think mcvities have anything to worry about. just thought i'd let you all know.

Nicola H Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Thats good news Laura I love Jaffa cakes just the way they are........Keep you hands off Cadburys they won't taste the same .......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Jaffa Cakes should be left alone! No one does them like McVities! Lovely things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I'm surprised they haven't had competition before now - they have a similar cake/biscuit in France in lots of different flavours - I like the cherry ones (but I only buy them in France, wouldn't buy French stuff here!)

Sheilaz Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 You know what sort of title to put to get me reading a new topic! Yum! I know a magic trick...buy jaffa cakes at 3 packs for price of 2...put them in the cupboard....and in the morning, all three have vanished....amazing.

The Dogmother Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Our MD at work can get 4 jaffa cakes in his mouth in one go! I told him that I was deeply unimpressed but had a laugh at his expense when he choked. Rosie licks the chocolate and orange off the top and leaves the cake bit all slimy on the table, but then she's 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Haven't tried 4 Jaffa cakes at a time, your MD must have an enormous mouth! Might have a go at 4 of the mini lunchbox size. Although not right now, too early in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicola !! Jaffa Cakes are really really nice with some custard on the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I must try that later is the custard hot or cold I suppose hot would melt the cake but that could be quite nice.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Oh yes, hot custard. Melts all the chocolate and it's yummy. (It's a low fat Weight Watchers pudding!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Is that in the same way as any calories/points consumed at the chip shop on the way home from WW/Slimming World/Fat Club meetings don't count at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I stopped going because over 18 months I put on a stone I'm much happier doing my own thing with the GI Diet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHen Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I'm trynig to find something that inspires me at the moment, and my Dad lost 3 stone this year doing the GI diet. He seems to spend a lot of time on preparation though and I want something my OH will enjoy also. Do you find it easy to fit in with the rest of the family? And can you eat porridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Yes - it is easy to fit in with family and Yes - you can have porridge I don't think you can have Jaffa Cakes though ( I have a great cook book - GI Diet Plan by Helen Foster - I must start using it ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freerange Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Might have a go at 4 of the mini lunchbox size. Although not right now, too early in the morning. Its NEVER too early for a jaffa cake! If only they did them without the milk in. As it is, my waistline is safe because DD1 can't have cows milk & it wouldn't be fair to her to have them around.

Ohh I know the ones - they have cherry jam and white chocolate and are called Pims (Pimms?) They are SCRUMMY and you can get them here if you ever need a fix!

Mel (& Paul) Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 A girl I work with is related to the chap who started the website "A nice cup of tea and a biscuit" (or something like that) - basically you can post your views on various biscuits and there is a big debate on whether jaffa cakes are cakes or biscuits........ Basically - WHO CARES???? Scrummy Yummy Jaffa Cakes (why dont I ever get asked to do taste tests............)

Popcorn Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Great web-site and what a great book. I might have to get that for my FIL, he loves a good dunk! Seeing as it's my birthday today, I'm going to go and buy a packet of jaffa cakes and eat them all to myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
