Ian Holdaway Polish Jaffa Cakes Multireview Review	Hi Nicey, Not too sure what we're doing discussing Jaffa cakes really but if you're looking for a cheap but terrific option when it comes to purchasing these tasty treats then try Lidl. Yes, dare I say it. LIDL. Nicer than the 'real' thing and about half the price. Brilliant. Thanks for the lovely website by the way. Ian
	Nicey replies: Hi Ian, Yes we often sing the praises of Lidl's Mr Choc Jaffa Cakes. A comparative pack of Mr Choc Cherry Cakes almost made it into the Polish review but were eaten before I had a chance to take their photo. I get quietly annoyed at Lidls snobs, who really just don't get it. Lidls is a fantastic way of getting some pan-European supermarket stuff, without having to cross the channel, even their bread flour is distinctly continental, and like the Jaffa Cakes delightfully different for it. Apart from their biscuits if people don't want to buy a good Spanish Olive oil for £2 a litre or Bavarian Pilsner Larger for next to nothing then that's their business.
Goldie Polish Jaffa Cakes Multireview Review	Nice one Nicey, I currently live in Chicago, and Chicago being the second largest Polish city outside of Warsaw, there are a lot of Poles here. Thank God. In my local supermarket there's a burgeoning Polish section, right next to the British section. Recently whilst perusing the eyewateringly expensive British imports, my eye wandered to the Polish section. "Hello, what's that?" I thinks to myself. "Blue wrapper, chocolatey, spongy, orangey - must be Polish Jaffa Cakes." Brushing aside the pickled herrings and borscht I investigate, and indeed, they are Jaffa Cakes - just with funny writing on them. I look at the British section - McVities jaffa cakes also, of course, now comes the price comparison. McVities - $3.25 per pack. Delijce - $5 for FOUR packs. That was it - elbows flying, heart pumping - it was like a supermarket sweep gone mad. I cleared the shelf in about 30 seconds, jealously eyeing other shoppers whilst guarding my horde. I have since, magnanimously I think, informed by fellow ex-pats, but I still horde them when I get the chance. And they are just as good as the 3 x as expensive McVities; chocolate is just right to the sponge ratio - and that "smashing orangey bit in the middle." Goldie, Chicago.
Hiromi Miura Polish Jaffa Cakes Multireview Review	Dear Nicey, wifey and YMOS! Thank you for your wonderful review of "Polish Jaffa Cakes Multireview". I believe that Wifey was able to get such fine biscuits by giving her right arm that she risked abandoning beloved Nicey and YMOS for a while. It must be just trophied biscuits. Sad to say, I have never tried any Polish Jaffa cakes. However, I am lucky to have enjoyed some "McVitie's branded Jaffa cakes" biscuits in the U.K. I loved the fruity tartness of the orange jelly rich in gelatin that could work as a skin moisturizer. (or jam ??) I think many people in the U.K.and Poland are really happy to be able to eat Jaffa cake biscuits. As you guess, Korea has no Jaffa cake biscuits. However, I recently met a nice biscuit named "Big pie" . The "Big pie" manufactured by CROWN is a biscuit with a strawberry flavoured jelly in a chocolate. The main reason I love the biscuit is that I can enjoy three key- points such as "the biscuit, the chocolate and the jerry" at the same time as Jaffa Cake biscuits in the U.K. Of course,I know that the "Big pie"biscuit is not a "Jaffa cake"biscuit. But I will taste the Korean "Big pie" as Korean Jaffa Cake" with gratitude in Korea. (Important) The "Big pie" is a SMALL round biscuit around 4 cm in diameter. Sincerely, Hiromi Miura (Seoul Korea)
	Nicey replies: Hiromi, Glad to see that you have settled down in Korea and are busily finding new biscuits. As you point out not only are those pies not big but they don't appear to be pies either. We are very lucky to have your Japanese view of Korean biscuits based on your working knowledge of British biscuits. I feel that one day there might come to pass a course of events that would see you at least saving the world using your specialised knowledge that is a Japanese view of Korean biscuits based on your working knowledge of British biscuits. The smashing orangey bit in the middle of the jaffa cake to give it its full technical name is as you suspect actually jam. Industrial jam at that. Which means that the inclusion of the Jaffa Cake in the new edition of the Oxford English Dictionary with the definition as a sponge biscuit with an orange-flavoured jelly filling and chocolate topping is wrong on two counts and very obviously throws doubt on the validity of every other piece of information held in it. As for Wifey she gave her left arm today, as she gave blood. She tells me she had a cup of tea afterwards and three Crawfords Gingernuts, although Digestives and Custard Creams were also on offer.
