1. I've never heard of a Jaffa Cake
Edited on Sun Nov-11-07 10:13 PM by Droopy
But those bastards owe something at least for Def Leppard.

17. Do you have a "Cost Plus World Market"
in your area? We have them here in los angeles and they sell Jaffa Cakes there (as well as Crunchies, Flakes, HobNobs and a few other british delicacies.....)

3. I remember those...
I loved those things while I was over there over the summer.

Wish I could get them here, same with Crunchie bars and proper Irn Bru.

Maybe some of our British DUers would be willing to help?

10. Crunchies are truly wonderful

I no longer eat milk chocolate (dairy-free diet) but I miss Crunchies.

14. At one point, a sweet shop near me sold the 'honeycomb' on its own
dirt cheap too, without any of the chocolate. But I've only ever noticed it in that shop. I'm sure someone else must make it and sell it separately, which would do you nicely.

9. Then you need THIS:

$5.20 a box I'm afraid but it's certainly cheaper than a plane ticket.
