To think Jaffa Cakes in flavours other than orange are an abomination?

[Hasitfallendownagain]

DH brought home some Jaffa cakes last night for a treat.

DC had one each for pudding yesterday. I just made myself a nice cup of tea and got out the packet and they are Raspberry favour!!

I did eat one to check I wasn't just being a set-in-my-ways old curmudgeon afraid of change, and they are nasty.

By the way, to be fair, they are not Mcvities, and actually called "Soft cakes", rather than Jaffa cakes, but still. They should taste of orange, and any other flavour is just wrong, wrong, wrong!

Jaffa cakes take their name from Jaffa oranges so YANBU.

But they weren't actual Jaffa cakes so maybe YA a little bit U.

WHAT? I didn't know about this! That is horrible!

YANBU

YANBU, they are orange, that it.

They are just nasty. Orange flavour or otherwise.

Eeeeewwwwwwwww! yuck!

We have some imitation jaffa cakes in France called Pims. They are yum. They do, however have raspberry, lime and I think possibly pear variations. No-one gets me when I rant about that.

YANBU whatever the brand :o

I think ive had lime ones and they are fabulous.

Another example of the lasagnafication of food.

Makes my blood boil.

Best Jaffa cakes are from Lidl. They beat McVities dry offerings hands down!

I've had lemon ones (or was it lime?) and they were lovely.

I much prefer the Jaffa cake bars now.

Ooooo, where did you get them from? I had the raspberry ones in France and they were the best thing I've ever eaten , but I did love them and YABU because they weren't called Jaffa Cakes, were they?

YANBU - it's a travesty

So with you on that!

My polish sil brought us some polish jaffa cake type thing that was cherry flavoured. They tasted plain wrong...I still ate them though

What is Lasagnification of food?

They may possibly have been Polish actually, as DH came home with Polish beer from (presumably) the same shop. Or maybe it was Czech.

Shuddering at pear flavour, that is even worse than raspberry. Lemon and lime don't sound quite so bad, at least they are citrus fruits!

YABU. In France you can get cherry ones from Carrefour I think. They're delicious.

YAsoNBU.

Also
Which marketing idiots thought strawberry flavoured ribena would go down well. Do they still do that or has it died a slow miserable death?

Wrong just wrong.

The cherry ones out of Lidl are gorgous really nice.Much better than the orange ones

Orange best, raspberry yes, lime no. Bleugh.

Be warned the lemon and lime are also an abomination.
Jaffa cakes should be McVities and orange. No fake cakes thank you.

Down with this oppression of colourful jaffa cakes! Down with this flavourism! Theres plenty of room in the world for as many cake variations as possible! Never stifle the cake makers! Votes for rainbow jaffas all round!!
:)

Lidl's cherry ones are the best!

McVities Jaffa cakes are dry and tasteless.

Have to say I prefer the French orange ones to the McVities orange ones.

Lasagnafication of food. Like that.
