Jacobs or McVities!?!?!

Spalk0

The last time i was in the barbours the conversation broke out between about which makes the better Jaffacake!?!? It eventually turned out that the owner(the chap that was cutting my hair) sent his assistant over to tesocs to buy a pack of each and find out for real which is better!Eventually i decided i preferred the McVities one better!

So whats your opinion?

And please choose carefully as you should not underestimate the importance of this topic!
One of these companies livelihoods could be at stake!

Jacobs. They're softer and the orangey bit tastes better.

Zombienosh

turn this into a poll god dammit

Spalk0

Care to inform me on exactly how i do that?

Spalk0

Yes but i cant edit a poll into it and i aint gonna start another thread again!

Anyways, which has the more 'jaffa' and which has the better 'cake'?

Mcvities had more orangy bit innit than Jacobs so thats why i prefer them!

Screw the poll, so far its 1 for each!

woosaysdan

Mcvities all the way

BolBill

Deffo Jacobs

PH01

Jaffa Cakes, YUK! Figrolls for me please!

Spalk0

Ok its now 2:2 with also a 1 for Fig rolls!hehe

Ah, my poor misguided souls, Don't you realise that even though Jaffa cakes are good, they're not the best biscuit in the world. That would belong to toffeepops. The creamiest texture, the chewy yet soft inside....*dreaming*


But in a fair fight Mcvities would knock out all other competition in the Jaffa Cake Stake

Spalk0

Ok its 3:2 to Mcvities!

Hey toffeepops are good, but with a cup of tea they dont hold a candle to jaffacakes!And besides, sometimes peeps like a bikki thats a bit lighter if ya know what i mean!

frantic_mel

Jacobs are definetely nicer i have to say

penguinbloke

McVities

and the greatest biscuit is the McVities Chocolate and Caramel digestive.

Sweet buttery Jebus I would nearly kill for one of those right now.

Geff

Definetly Jacobs.

The sponge is softer.

billy the squid

Jacobs Kimberly

althought the chocolate kimberly are daylight robbery imo

mcvitties make the better jaffa cake

r00sevelt

Definitely McVities

on a slight biscuit-cum-cake tangent (that can't be how you spell 'cum' in that instance?? is it?) i bought a pack of Raspberry cakes in Lidl last night (cheap jaffa rip-off) and thought they were pretty damn ok for the price, anyone else tried them?

Spalk0

Ok its now 6:4 to McVities! was tied up until the last 2 posts!

Jacobs for me when in Ireland. Softer sponge always seem to think McVities taste slightly staler.


Pims in France are great - extra flavours - raspberry, lemon etc. With a good solid dollop of dark chocolate on top. Only back 2 weeks from Paris and all gone

Yum, Yum !

Jaffa cakes are the spawn of satans orangey son. They are a woeful invention.

Atari Jaguar / Britney Spears for me.

monument

McVities.

Spalk0

Ok the score 7:5 to McVities!1 for fig rolls and 1 for atari Jaguar?/Britney Spears!

God i wish i had done a poll for this now!

Blisterman

1 for Oreos
Although they're a cookie, not a biscuit. Does it still count?

Spalk0

Another classic combination : tea and fig rolls!

impr0v

McVities.

mcvities all the way

Gordon

I prefer the tangier Jacobs.

Saruman

Mcv.. i like them better. Jacobs are softer yes but too soft... Mcv has better orangy bit!

honeymonster

I cant stop eatin figrolls, i love em. Figs and a cup of tea (with sugar) and im happy

SimonMaher

Hello all,

This is one that has been debated long into the night at Phantom towers. Basically what we ended up doing was creating a hybrid jaffa cake. This combines the better spongey bit of a Jacobs jaffa cake with the smashing orangey bit of a McVitties one. Absolutely delicious.

I'm pissing myself laughing at this thread. I haven't had a jaffa cake since a guy at work handed them round our booth for the 12th of July.

Spalk0

Ok the score is 10:6 in favour of McVities!Also 2 for fig rolls and 1 for atari jaguar?/Britney Spears!

Actually make that 3 for fig rolls!i'll put in a vote for them since i like em alot!

I think we can safely agree that both jaffa cakes have their strenghts and weaknesses!.......Question is now, which one would win in a fight? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA(cough cough)HAHAHAHA(cough) :eek:

Spears vs. a bunch of biscuits?

Unless Spears plays dirty, which we all hope she would...

This thread made me go down to the shops and buy a tube of McVitees.
A bloody arse here in my office robbed 3 of them when I wasn't looking!! :eek:
He won't last the day...

Bah these food threads always make me hungry - this is nearly as bad as the "what will I have for breakfast?" thread!

McVities all the way though

Spalk0

Ah Feck ... now I'm going to have to buy a packet & seeing as I'm a lard ass, I'll have to eat them all in one go ... mmmmm
