Thats the best bit if it didn't have that it would be called sponge and chocolate.I think they'd be great without the orange jelly...

Sorry got the link wrong, working now, there is a picture in the Wiki article.
wow i got indigestion just looking at it, but if the scottish can eat that so should i. apparently it has moved stateside which leaves me no excuse not to try it.
Print out the article and take it your local Fish and Chips they should be able to work it out for you.
Annoying advert yes. But it was so annoying and crap that it was actually good and has stuck with me to this day.
I love jaffacakes!! You know theres a number in the UK you can call if you think you're a jaffaholic!

They're more like $4.00 but the fact is that they're 79p in the UK as you said. When I went to Leicestershire last fall I went to ASDA and found out how cheap these bad boys were. That and Curly Whirlys. OMG now those are the things you buy 5 at a time and eat 'em all. Maybe I shouldn't admit to it but I do.
There are online retailers willing to ship this stuff (they import from UK), but I prefer to support the most local british shoppe here where she also gets malt loaf and Cornish Patsy (though I don't eat it someone else does). That and the ginger tea can't be had here in it's most appropriate fashion so I spend the extra. Even still going there and seeing all this stuff for so cheap, even with the near 1:1 exchange rate I was still paying less!
Enough I'm now hungry.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Let's confuse everyone and start talking about Rhode Island food.
I sure love me some johnny cakes. Wash them down with some coffee milk and a Del's. And that's after 3 all the way and a 'gansett.
And I like you too, chuck.
I'm shocked and horrified that anyone could vote negatively in this poll shame on the lot of you.
They're cakes as proved in the British courts.I love me some Jaffa Cakes. But are they cakes or biscuits? That's the real question
Jaffa Cakes? Oh sweet jesus Yes!
Although I'm not a fan of McVitties Jaffa Cakes. I know they're generally taken as the 'definitive' Jaffa Cake, but to me the base always seems harder than I would like, as if it was already slightly stale, even though its a fresh box.
When I was at uni in Edinburgh (where you will find the 'Huggabuga Jaffa Cake Appreciation Society International' or HJASI), my flatmates and I tried all the various Jaffa Cakes made by various companies, and we found Lyons to be the best in terms of the soft spongy-ness of the base and the zingy-ness of the orange bit, McVitties didn't even come close. We weren't fond of Burtons Jaffa Cakes at all - they were extremely bland. However, in recent weeks I have tried the more 'European' Jaffa Cakes sold by the supermarket chain Lidl (sold under the name 'Orange Cakes'). Best Jaffa cakes I've ever had! Slightly smaller than traditional Jaffa cakes, but the base is uber-soft and the orange bit is really intense. Fantastic!
