angryjoe Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Second, the 'Orangey bit' is made from apricots. you are wrong. They are half price at mi supermarket so i have a couple of boxes next to me and they don't mention apricot. it says on the box ...,Concentrated orange juice (8% orange juice equivalent),... the orangey bit is made from Apricot pulp, sugar and a squirt of tangerine oil. try reading my post next time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapeg90 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 They're clearly Cake, for the simple reason that they go hard when left for a while. Simples! : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1_man_army Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 are Jaffa cakes a cake or biscuit?) Simple rule; when cakes go off (as in out of date) they go hard, when biscuits go off they go soft. Therefore Jaffa Cakes are indeed cakes. edit - I just realised this point has already been made...oh well. He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plugpoint Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Cakes get hard when they go stale. Biscuits get soft when they go stale. Jaffa Cakes are in fact cakes, as the sponge gets hard when stale. Beat me to it! Didn't they try claiming they were biscuits to get out of VAT or something along those lines a while back? Maxed 15/06/13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other way round, they claimed it to be a cake to get out of paying tax on biscuits. They even made a massive one to prove it was a cake (I don't know how this proves it is a cake, couldn't you have a massive biscuit?)
