I heard that Jaffa Cakes are SUPER YUMMY but we do not have them here in the US - I got me the munchies for some. Can anyone help a brother out?!

Hmm, Jaffa Cakes...

Sorry Rikter, if I were in Europe now or heading that way anytime soon I would try to help you out, but as it is all I can give you is perhaps a tip on where to find them in the US. Do you have an import store ('World Market' is a commonly used name) anywhere near where you live? It seems you can find one in most areas, huge markup though. Jaffa Cakes are pretty popular, so chances are that if you can find such a store that it is going to carry Jaffa Cakes. They may cost twice the price that they would if you bought them in the UK, but sometimes it is worth it to try something new. I am not sure how you would go about finding the location of such a store the internet might have some sort of a directory. It would be listed in your local phone book, but I have no idea what it would be listed under.

Mmmm, Jaffa Cakes...

Back in 1991, we fought a battle with the VAT man to prove that Jaffa Cakes are cakes, not biscuits, and therefore should not attract VAT.
Apparently this was proven by leaving Jaffa Cakes out a few days to go stale. Stale cake goes hard; stale biscuits go soft. The Jaffa Cakes went hard, thereby prooving that they should be regarded as "cakes".

They now sell them in Lemon & Lime and Blackcurrant flavour!
