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

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!

I had Halloween lemon and limes ones that were passable...orange is still my favourite though Grin

My local lidl only does the orange ones Envy

I like the french ones they're lovely, is carrefour the brand?

Lidl raspberry ones are gorgeous...! Their orange ones are SOOOOOOO much nicer than McVities too Smile

Wanda Carrefour is the chain of shops, supermarkets.

Someone upthread said they're 'Pims' - which is correct, as I recall.

Lasagnafication: verb:

To take a traditional dish, alter, change, amend, add a "twist" and turn it into rubbish to make more profit than doing it properly.

Iceland Lasagnate food! I have so many weird combinations in there!

I'm not even that keen of Jaffa Cakes so I don't care for them.

fancy go and wash your mouth out with soap

They are only ever dry if you don't eat the whole pack at once, and there is NEVER ANY reason for that.

Cherry ones ? Oh my, I love cherry

I've only ever had the McVities vintage of Jaffa Cakes. I never knew there was such variety.

A Jaffa made of raspberry deliciousness? Cherries? Pear? I refuse to die having not sampled these hybrid cakes. I will hunt them down, and I will try each and every one.

YANBU, TOTAL abomination, should be punishable by death Grin
