Jaffa Cakes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffa_Cakes
Quite tasty, actually.
Jaffa cakes are awesome. They’re cookies, kind of. Squishy sponge cake with a layer of jam-ish something on top, followed by a layer of chocolate.
the jam is usually an orange flavor
The onion bhaji’s look like shit after someone’s been out drinking all night.
But… I need this in inches instead of centimeters! A Jack & Coke is equivalent to an onion bhaji and a jaffa cake…. what’s that in American measurements? Did I have a cheeseburger last night? A whole ham? A bag of Doritos?
Damn, Harvey Keitel has really let himself go to pot…
Dear lord, I love Jaffa cakes.
In our trip to London a couple of months ago we practically lived on Jaffa cakes, Maltesers, and weird flavors of Walker’s crisps. (Basically, Lay’s potato chips, but in flavors like lamb curry.) And yet I lost 9 pounds.
I want an American source for Jaffa cakes.
I’m pretty sure you can get Jaffa cakes at that British food place in Redmond. They’re unspeakably vile little things, though. They’re disgustingly…cakey. The Chocolate Hobnob is the king of biscuits.

Not as good as Jaffa Cakes, but not bad.
Oops! Forgot to add that LU cookies are found in most grocery stores here.
Chocolate Hobnobs, McVities Digestives, and Drifter candy bars…. mmmm…. Thanks to Fnarf, I’m in British sweets daydream mode right now.
they’re fooling people with this… cause 4 beers (715cal according to them) is not at all equivalent to all of that junk food… a burger alone is over 400cal, so is a slice of pizza (pepperoni i assume from the drawing)… and they’ve added a hotdog (even a very light and small one cannot be under 200cal) and still a jaffa cake?? c’mon…
Marina, you should see the abominations Brits sell as “burgers”.
The funniest thing about this thing is the hopelessness of it. They’re trying to promote this idea that you should never consume more than 3-4 “units” of alcohol, if you’re a man, or 1-2 units if you’re a woman. A pint of beer is three units — a woman should never ever have a pint of beer? This, in a country where something like a quarter of the population has three or four pints every night, and ten or twelve or more every Friday and Saturday. Good luck with that.
My favorite thing about this is “alcopop” hahahah.
“Alcopop” – is that like Joose or Sparks? Or is it more like those shitty cans of Sex on the Beach that they sell at liquor stores?
Alcopop is one of my favorite drinking terms, which I still use because it amuses the crap out of me. It’s a Smirnoff Ice or whatever. Those kind of drinks. “Flavored malt beverages” is what I believe they’re called officially…
Unless they’re willing to give me food equivalences per bottle of wine or spirits, it doesn’t really matter whether the food units are jaffa cakes or Krispy Kremes.
I drank 1005 calories on Saturday night!?!? I HATE this thing.
Their *small* wine works out to be the caloric equivalent of 1/4 of a bottle unless you happen to be drinking port.
I figure I could down a whole bottle of Bordeaux and still come in under a modest sized Chip Butty in terms of calories.
http://www.tobbp.com has Jaffa cakes as well as many other prepared delicacies from jolly olde England.
Tunnock’s Caramel Wafers.
Jaffa cakes = culinary perfection.
Whenever I think of jaffa cakes, I want to watch Spaced. Whenever I watch Spaced, I crave jaffa cakes.
Does anyone else think that guy looks like he’s admiring his baby bump?
how much is a 40? (i’m from oakland)
Jaffa Cakes are awesome. They are one of the few “British” foods that I miss from my time in London.
