In thinking this is the CORRECT way to eat a Jaffa cake and it should be illegal to eat them any other way ??!!

[ApocalypseCheese]

Nibble all around the edges, pick and eat chocolate topping, now skillfully remove orange yummy bit and balance it on finger.

The orange bit is to remain on finger until the base has been consumed, scoff orange by sucking slowly until disolved.

Then repeat.

T'is the only way

wrong!
eat the orange jelly first then shove the rest in whole.
much more efficient

No no no

You eat round the edges, then eat the base, then SUCK the chocolate topping off the orange bit and then munch up the orange up.

no you nibble around the edges then eat the sponge and then suck the orange bit and chocolate.

Down in one (or maybe 2 or 3!)

Exactly right, except you forgot to add repeat x 12, or until the packet is gone.

YADNBU.

Repeat until there are only crumbs to suck up

Hate jaffa cakes. I can never understand why so many people like them

You are all BU.

the only way.

You're talking madness. The best way is to put one on top of another and eat like a jelly and chocolate sandwich. You can get through a whole pack in about ten minutes this way.

I hide my jaffa cakes in the top cupboard away from pesky kids and DH and scoff them whilst watching telly in the evening!

Technique:
1.Nibble round the chocolate edge
2.Place tongue under orange gel
3.Lift up gel and remaining chocolate with tongue
4.Eat sponge

I usually eat about 7/8 maybe more

Wrong!

You eat the base, then lift the chocolate off with your tongue and eat that, then eat the orangey bit.

I thought everyone knew that!

No!! Im with the Op

It's the only way.

You hold it to your lips, and slowly lick away the chocolate, then tease out the jelly a little at a time. Then put a little whipped cream where jelly used to be and bit in half.

Make sure no one can see you

I'm with LondonMackem on this one - one huge bite, then the rest of it follows. Repeat until nearing the end of the packet. Suffer mild guilt pangs of "How can I have eaten so many?" Then polish off the rest of them, because there'd be no point leaving them, would there?

Luckily, DH and DS don't like them, so we don't often have them in the house and I only do this very occasionally!

Not only are you wrong about the way to eat Jaffa cakes (there should be an even amount of topping and biscuit in every bit, no more than 3 bites) but if you make it illegal to go freestyle you will simply drive it underground. The last thing anybody wants is furtive biscuit eating.

Ah, nice to see people agreeing with me.

The rest of you are amatuers, amatuers I tell you !!

@ bran.

Underground Jaffa munching society, i'll meet you under the bridge, i'll be in pale brown trousers an orange jumper and a dark brown hat.

We have new supplies coming through

OMG ApCheese, are you my 11yo son??? I get so yucked out by it that I never buy Jaffa Cakes now!

No I agree with OP. This is the ONLY way you can possibly eat Jaffa Cakes. I am lead to believe that any other style is in fact, a cardinal sin and will lead to an eternity in Hell.

Don't know about the finger balancing business - sounds like hard work and requiring of dexterity and skills I may not possess plus there is a possibility of it falling on the floor or being blown away by a freak gust of wind.

However, in principle I am with you on nibbling the edges, eating the chocolate off the top, eating the remaining disc of sponge and then eating orangey bit.

It is the only way.

Although I have to say, I do quite like the raspberry ones too..... or is that not to be spoken about in polite company?

Niecie, please leave.

Word cannot describe how I am feeling right now, or the foul taste those words have left in my mouth

And you showed so much promise

Open box. Scoff the lot in the three minutes flat. Throw box in recycling bin. Pah. Easy peezy, orange squeezy.

caramelwaffle, please tell me your name is no relation to Bluewaffle ??!!

You remove the orange yuk and throw it in the bin. Then scoff the rest. Simple!

you must

put entirely in mouth

chew quickly so that mouth doesn't realise that the bottom of a jaffa cake is made from polystyrene
