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

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

agree with OP. the ONLY way.

I've been further thinking about what would happen if there was only one legal way of eating Jaffa Cakes. Would the checkout staff at the supermarket be obliged to ask customers how they intend to eat them before swiping them through the till? Or perhaps there would be a Jaffa Cake test (like a driving test) with a license with photo id that you can show to shop staff. Would staff refuse to serve you if they had reason to suspect that you were likely to give some or all of them to an unlicensed person?

I've kind of gone off Jaffa Cakes now.

I fancy a Magnum though. What is the prescribed way of eating one of those?

lol you lot are hilarious

I just stuff them in and munch cause they are yummy

I agree with OP - tis the only way!

there are only 2 ways of eating jaffa cakes

1 - as op stated

2 - as per the advert. full moon, half moon, total eclipse!

No, no, no, no,no. It's my way or the highway !

'Tis a .

As long as we're agreed on that, you may eat yours any way you like.

What's wrong with you all!!!!!!!

THERE CAN BE NO WRONG WAY TO EAT A JAFFA CAKE.

Practically all I could eat when expecting my first DS. Should be available on the NHS

ApocalypseCheese - oh how so very right you are.

I could demolish a packet right now...mmmm

It's in the advert.
IT'S AN ORDER!!!

Full moon, half moon, TOTAL ECLISPE!

My ambition when I was five or so,was to write a book titled '101 ways to eat a Jaffa cake'.

I spent many hours dedicated to research but I think that 18 ways was the most I could manage,much to my disappointment.

The challenge is to separate the orange so it's totally in tact. Then savour on the tip of your tongue

lol @ memory of Spanish teacher in JC ad Total Eclipse etc. I loved that ad. Can't see a full moon without thinking of it.

DS saves his orangey bit. Once he made me wrap it in foil and take it with me so he could eat it after tennis.

I'm with the OP on this one. Except with the mini jaffa cakes, which are too teeny tiny to deal with in the regulation manner. Those I treat as sweeties, pop em in and chew.

The only possible diversion from the OP's methodology would be to remove a stage by throwing the sponge bit in the bin.

As JeezyPeeps said - x 12 as there are 12 in the pack.

Only proper Jaffas from McVities though not the cheap imitations!

Definately not to share with anyone else - secret stash is the way!

OP - you are right.

In fact, anyone caught eating them any other way should be banned from eating cake ever every again.

Yes that's right. I said cake

So let's go on the is it a cake or is it a biscuit argument and really shed some blood

It's a cake.

Well, a bun.

It's a cake. The clue's in the name

The chocolate has definitely got thinner over the years. B*stard McVities.

Full moon.
Half moon.
No moon.

Full moon.

No moon.

Repeat.

Dunked in coffee all the way.

Now the Jaffa Cake bars they are yum...

My children like Jaffa cakes, personally I can take or leave them.

DH, on the other hand, is a fanatic.

But he only has one way to eat them...

Whole.
All at once!

And if he stops at one packet we are doing well .......!

Actually I have to eat it all together, reason being that all the individual parts of jaffa cakes are actually pretty disgusting - the chocolate isn't good quality chocolate, the cakey-biscuit part on its own tastes like a stale cake and the orange bit is too sickly, but eat them together and it works!

There is no correct way to eat a Jaffa cake. They are stale cake with a bit of orange glop and some pretend chocolate on top. The only correct way to treat them is to leave them in the box, or best of all the shop

All the more for us if you're unable to appreciate their many fine qualities.
