Ye couldnae make it up!One always rather hoped that Jaffa cakes didn't have any spunk in them.
Of course, following Brexit, they're to be banned. Or made compulsory. Or bothGod you're making me pine for Jaffa cakes
i distinctly remember it being coined in OFAH but it has since somehow entered the national lexicon as if its an old and organically generated expression
My vote for, 'Fortean post of the month'...
The thought being.. your post was definitively... the hell are we discussing Jaffa Cakes!Um.. was that a hint ? OK, last search on the non-search engine : Monster Munch and Wotsits are standard-rated for VAT, but Skips and Twiglets are zero-rated (presumably as Twiglets are made out of twigs, not potato).

Please don't go there... it's a trap and we're all still trying to find our way out...I ... well ... yes, I'm looking at other threads now (Fortean ones).
So this is the famous unleavened bread I read so much about in the bible.The port of Jaffa in Isreal.
That's not the link I posted?!
But I always make a traybake from melted Cadbury eclairs (toffee) that always seem to be left over after Xmas + rice crispies and mini marshmallows. Them's ingredients.VAT is payable on confectionery but products can be zero-rated if they are used for cooking. The Loughborough-based firm took a case to a first tier tax tribunal to argue the large marshmallows were in fact ingredients for S'mores - an American treat where roasted marshmallows are sandwiched between chocolate biscuits.

Why is it left over though?But I always make a traybake from melted Cadbury eclairs (toffee) that always seem to be left over after Xmas + rice crispies and mini marshmallows. Them's ingredients.
For some reason (possibly involving 1970's dental plates and fillings) the toffee penny was the only thing left in an Xmas tin of Quality Street by January. Ditto the eclairs in a tub of Cadbury Heroes - I collect these and once a year melt them in a pot with mini marshmallows and stir in any stale Rice Krispies still in my cupboard, spread it out on a tray and let it cool. Addictive.Why is it left over though?

Probably an orange or tangerine syrup that has been freeze-dried into a powder (if that is possible).I'm wondering what is used as the flavouring in a Jaffa Cake flavoured coffee ? You could alternatively just dunk a Jaffa Cake into a regular cup of coffee I suppose, but I wouldn't - Jaffas are for tea.
All the things that used to be orange-flavour are now called Jaffa cake flavour. Like people have forgotten what oranges are, but still have a good grasp of Jaffa cakes.Probably an orange or tangerine syrup that has been freeze-dried into a powder (if that is possible).
Just my guess.
I have a good grasp of Jaffa Cakes. I can grab a handful!All the things that used to be orange-flavour are now called Jaffa cake flavour. Like people have forgotten what oranges are, but still have a good grasp of Jaffa cakes.
