I love jaffacakes more than I can say. There is no finer thing in the world. I would say it is mankind's supreme achievement.

I also love cheesy footballs and am delighted that they are now appearing in the shops with Christmas so nearly upon us. Unlike jaffacakes they have the significant advantage that my kids hate them so I can scoff them on my own.

As for the 12 vs 10, I have no strong opinions.

Brexit!

So decimalisation has finally caught up with McVities ?
I recommend buying the twin packs when they're on offer, Peeder. Enough for the whole squad and a few left over for the coach, to keep you going through the second half

I find it very hard to believe that anyone has ever eaten just a single jaffacake at a sitting. Has such a thing ever occurred in the history of the universe? Far, far worse than having no jaffacake at all. If Peeder is inflicting this sort of thing on those in his care he ought to be incarcerated for child abuse.

You can eat a whole one! Such decadence. We have a Jaffacake at Christmas and share it.....

What was wrong with having half a real orange at half time. Is it just southerners that have cakes or has this become a trend?

10 rather than 12..? That takes the biscuit.

JFC do I have to make all the obvious jokes on here? You people are idiots.

I was gifted a three pack of said Jaffacakes last week; now, it might be that my burgeoning appetite is playing tricks on me but they seemed a good 15% smaller than I remember them. It seems that the manufacturers are indeed having their cake and eating it in this instance.

You don't get these problems with pork scratchings by the way. Still plenty of those artery filling delicacies in every packet

It's appalling how that "delicacy" is produced. They shower those poor porkers in itching powder and leave them to excoriate themselves until they are red raw. I stick to deep-fried chicken lips personally. Need a lot to fill a packet though.

Foie Gras......now there's some proper animal misuse.

You say that Sheepy, but you and I have sat with 666 at the dinner table and his preferred usual feeding method shares a striking similarity with the gavage endured by those geese. I imagine his own liver looks like that fatberg they flushed out of the sewers in London recently.

I take it 666 has a striking resemblance to Jabba the Hut then Vidal, (or at least his liver does)?

If Jabba had let himself go a bit, then possibly yes.

It still conjours up nightmares involving the love child of Shrek and Toad of Toad hall constantly shouting fore whilst in a trestle table food frenzy.

I cannot remember 666’s eating habits, Vidal as the stench of not showering made me turn away.

I spent the entire day aghast for various reasons. I felt like the love child of Munch's "The Scream" and Kurtz in Apocalypse Now.

"Horror. Horror has a face...And you must make a friend of horror." Well, I tried, God knows I tried, but that face, and what went into it....."And I remember...I...I...I cried...I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do."

666, how about you change your moniker to "limax maximus"?

Strett?

I am acutely aware my mere presence, gait and general aura was of great pleasure to you, Sheepie.

Surely, when Jaffacakes and Munch are the main topic, a Match Thread must be due? Please.

You'll find View is shuffling toward his new-fangled computer with slightly less agility in his wizened gait for this and any other matchthread.

Just assumed that the cake thread was a plea for help........

It was Ben. I was bored! And hungry 😉

Don’t turn it on me😫

Most chocolate is delicious, as are juicy oranges. But the devil's alchemy turns the combination into poison! Yuk!

Just raided the biccie tin and found a new packet of "12 biscuit" Jaffacakes - result
