to think that jaffa cakes should not be dunked!

[ChookKeeper]

I've just read that the German biscuit maker Bahlsen have launched oblong shaped jaffa cakes because the orange filling can then go edge to edge and be better for dunking .

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! The idea of dunking a jaffa cake is rank and surely the law of eating jaffa cakes is to nibble the sponge from around the outside, peel off and eat the orangey bit then eat the rest of the sponge.

So go on then AIBU?

hi, i have been asked by McVitie's to tell everyone how fantastic jaffa cakes are. my children eat them everyday, there is a whole unicorn in each packet and my children are going to live forever

kisses gt

Theyoungvisitor I'll have to explain that to my 19mo before she attempts to dunk one again

YANBU Jaffa cakes should not be dunked NO NO NO it is just plain wrong!!!!

Ledogy, gee, I've never been asked before to be in anybody's quiche

Pacific- its because she thinks you're a good egg

I must agree with the majority here. Jaffas are NOT for dunking.
Nothing worse than soggy goo at the bottom of your drink. Ick.

LOL at quiche!!! can I join!

i don't dunk jaffa cakes but I do dunk biscuits.....AND Cheddars

PMSL at the responses on here Who knew a degree in Physics was needed when trying to calculate a biscuit vs cake's "dunkability"?!

definitely YANBU.
i line up with those who agree with your (the only) method of eating the jaffas

why would you want to dunk orange flavoured gloop?

would you dunk a chocolage fudge cake?

no.

cake is not for dunking

biscuit is - this is why it is ok to dunk chocolate kit kat.

there are principles to dunking - it is a v. serious business.

i feel that Jaffa have not conducted their business analysis thoroughly enough and the chief exec should be dismissed forthwith

Oh i dunk everything. Biscuits,cake, sandwiches etc. However, as i drink neither tea nor coffee, everything gets dunked in cola or squash. Yum.

OK shiver, so whats the nicest sandwich to dunk in your coke??[

feeling sick]

I like to eat a Jaffa Cake from the fridge so that the chocolate is nice and hard. And yet the smashing orangey bit it still goo-ey. I like to dunk a ginger nut though.

I don't believe in dunking anything in hot drinks, but I've said that before and was rounded up and escorted out of town. Metaphorically speaking.

Now, I know it's regarded as being akin to feeding your family toxic waste on this site, but I'm going to say it anyway. McDonalds fries dipped in their chocolate shakes is awesome.

lol at gayTony!

Wasn't there a whole saga regarding whether jaffa cakes were biscuits or cakes for tax purposes?
I think it was clarified as such -
when biscuits are stale they go soft,
when cakes are stale they go hard.

My dh's workmates did a dunkability chart for the wall in the office.

Jaffa Cakes - dunking not recommended

I dunk bread in diete coke

but

I DO NOT DUNK JAFFA CAKES!

PeedOffWithNits.Best butty is grated cheese and chocolate spead, closely followed by potted meat on a crusty cob but that is best dunked in milk.

I need to go and lie down after that shiver

this is me nowfeeling iffy

shiver I have started a perfectly reasonable thread and I can't beleive that you have lowered the tone to such depths

no that is just WRONG.

I dunk all my biscuits EXCEPT Jaffa cakes.

thats just wrong, and will ruin your cuppa. what do the germans know about PG tips tho.

People actually dunk sandwiches? Why?

I was going to say it is too flat to be a cake. Then I rememberd pancakes. They are for sure not biscuits just because they are flat.

Dunking jaffa cakes? I am sure it would be nice, if you were of the dunking kind.

I prefer penguins. I have a spoon ready, and I dip the penguin into my coffee, and then I suck up the chocolatey centre (now mixed with coffee) like the surrounding biscuit was a straw. I then deposit the crumbling soggy biscuit onto the spoon.....

yum.

OFFS get a life- is this really worthy of discussion?
