When you think of cakes, what's the first thing that comes to mind?




Wrong.

It's this


So sexy...

For the observant amongst you, you may remember me touching upon the subject of Jaffa Cakes in this thread. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.336909-Biscuits#13607069]

Yes, the Jaffa Cake.

Such a cultural delicacy that legal proceedings took place to categorise it.

In the UK, value added tax is payable on chocolate covered biscuits, but not on chocolate covered cakes. McVities defended its classification of Jaffa Cakes as cakes in court, producing 30 cm Jaffa Cake to illustrate that its Jaffa Cakes were simply miniature cakes. McVities argued that a distinction between cakes and biscuits is, among other things, that biscuits would normally be expected to go soft when stale, whereas cakes would normally be expected to go hard.
But what is a Jaffa Cake?

Come close my children.

[sub]Closer...[/sub]

[sub][sub]Closer...[/sub][/sub]


To understand the Jaffa Cake, we must first take a look at its insides.


So hot...

The orangey bit is what separates the Jaffa Cake from all other cakes.

For the orangey bit is made from oranges.

But not just any oranges.

Jaffa oranges.

From Jaffa, an ancient port city believed to be one of the oldest in the world.

Old city?

Jaffa?


Has your mind be blown?

Yes.

The British knew of the Jaffa before anyone else.

But we kept it hidden away, so that we may feast on their delicious, genetically engineered oranges of slavery.

As a man of science - shut up, I'm totally a man of science, food science! - it is my responsibility to teach you, my beautiful, stupid children, in the ways of British food.

True Story.

'But Daystar, you successfully catchy J-pop star you, how can I sate my hunger on Jaffa Cakes alone?'


There's one, maybe 2 minutes worth of Jaffa Cake on that plate.

Okay, okay, I get it, you're an exceedingly hungry individual, but I have the solution.

I shouldn't me telling you about this, for it our most guarded British secret of Britishness...

Come closer...

[sub]Closer...[/sub]

[HEADING=1]The Jaffa Cake Cake![/HEADING]

Yes, the Jaffa Cake Cake.

The Super Saiyan of the cake world.

Legend states that so much Jaffa Cake could feed the world for millions of years.

Sadly, scientific scientists of Jaffa Cake science, theorise that such a thing could not exists without opening up a Jaffa Hole.

Like a black hole.

But orange.

True Story.

[sub][sub]Shoutout to Hazy for giving me the idea. Also, I got my super sayan reference inb4 his :D[/sub][/sub]

Meh I'm not really a fan of Jaffa cake. Sure I would eat them when I was given that choice but I prefer other snack.
I do however remember those orange toys promo that they did many years ago (I forgot what they were called). I was obess with those toys as I had all of them except for that girl member and that big one with the fangs.

It's okay.

The truth is out.

We don't need to hide our love for the Jaffa anymore.

I had the Polish knockoff version (which look exactly the same), and they were kinda terrible, so I judge you for liking the real thing (which I've never had). Have a nice day.

The reason I don't buy packs of jaffa cakes is because once I've eaten one, the rest of the pack will ensue. They're that good and that "light" that "just 1 more" is always valid.

There's the door. Leave!

Jaffa Cakes sound like the perfect thing to accompany my burgeoning addiction to Dr Pepper[footnote]That, combined with the laptop on my lap: AAAAGH! MY SPERM!!![/footnote]

Daystar, you bastard! I literally just came back from the store, only to find myself wanting to go back there. BUT IT'S CLOSED! ;( Now I'll have to wait until next week to buy myself some. Next week!

Dr. Pepper accompanies anything beautifully, from Indian food to Human Livers.

It's endearing really.

I did once when I was a child. I was really, really happy...then sad.
You wanna know why...I ran out. I always feel like that when I run out of dem delicious Jaffas. D:

But for the most topic, I LOVE JAFFA JOKES. IT was my favorite snack in my childhood, and then my favorite as I tried it again as a teenager.

I love them to this very day, but they are very hard to find here in Australia unless you go to a British store. Or find cheap knock offs. D:

Satan accepts almost anyone, though his acceptance of Gingers is questionable. Science has not yet decided on whether they have anything to offer him.

He turns gingers into Jaffa Cakes.

Mmmmm.

Tasty, tasty Satanism.

But until that day, my loyalty lies elsewhere. Behold!

I'm still holding out on my partnership with him until I get that 50/50 split I asked for. He's at 60/40, but I reckon I can wear him down. He won't fuck with me, after what I did to the Arch-angel Gabriel[footnote]I pointed out to him that he's a Patron Saint of Christianity, and his name phonetically has the word "gay" in it. He's never been the same since.[/footnote]

Silly Muspelheim.

That isn't a Jaffa Cake. How could it possibly be tasty?
