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?

No need for a spoon.
Just bite off a little from the top and bottom of the biscuit,place a little way down into the tea, then suck up the tea through the biscuit. You can only do it for two or so seconds before it disintegrates,then quickly withdraw it,tip it back and pop it in your mouth.

Is it really worth commenting on a discussion that bores you?

Quint & Higher - my mate does that, but she lives in Australia. I figured it was an Oz thing to do.

YANBU!!

Jaffa cakes are not made to be dunked!

Custard Creams are a whole other story though, they taste better when dunked!

Am i being unreasonable to think all jaffa cakes (regardless of shape) should be banned!

there vile!

YABVU Milknosugar. They are incredibly delicious.

Yes, higher, but then the experience is over so quickly! I like to prolongue it. I savour the flavour of the hot gooey chocolate and the coffee, before adding the coffeyed crumbs...

I am a sucker for chocolatey pleasures.

Higher- yes it is, if only to persuade others to get a sense of perspective.

Read the posts about cancer and you'll see what i mean.

There is nothing quite like the horror one feels when one's biscuits breaks in half and falls into the cup.

purplepeony - get the fuck off your high horse, some of us know cancer very well through real life and find threads about gooey biscuits a real breather.

Peony. This is AIBU on MN. It's not the house of commons.

and the horror of mucking out crumbs from the bottom of your coffee cup.

QS I have to get some penguins now! I will try both yours and HTW's method (several times to make sure) and I will get back to you with which one gets my vote.

You should be having cake with coffee not biscuits. That'd solve the problem.
Cake with coffee,unless it's lemon or a Victoria sponge, and tea with biscuits.

But there weird orange goo on stale cake! they make me feel a wee bit queasy!!

now dunking penguins, there's ya money maker!

higherthenawombat- that is the ONLY way to eat a penguin!

You have clearly had inferior version of Jaffa Cakes. A perfectly ripe McVities Jaffa is a delight.

Purplepeony are you serious? Are we only allowed to have highbrow discussion. I have lost both my parents and grandparents most of them to cancer. I know perspective but that does not limit me from discussing what I like to dunk in my tea!

I'm afraid to say that McVities are the only one's that grace the doors of this house!

Now, where do we stand on malted milk biscuits?

I have just realised I have NEVER eaten a malted milk biscuit! have to add to the list of things to experiment with!

Malted milks are the cow biscuits aren't they? I love those.

Oh the shop's own brand just do not live up to those with cows on!

ponders who would win in a fight with a jaffa cake and malted milk

Jaffa cakes of course. The smashing orangey bit gives them superpowers.

YANBU. I have to nibble the chocolate, peel off the jelly and suck it to death and then eat the sponge... mmm... jaffa cakes....

yes BUT the malted milk have cows BUILT IN them!

clearly the answer lies there!
