What are these and should I go to Amazon and order some now?

Nah, international food sections of grocery stores generally have them. They're a shitty cookie with shitty orange jam topped with okay chocolate. They're English.

Our College soccer team went over to England one year to watch some premiere games and play some friendlys against some random teams. During one of the first of these games, the guide person whips out some Jaffa Cakes at half-time. No one knows what they are and all I can think is, “These people eat cakes for half-time!” They were delicious.

The ones you guys get aren’t English because America hates freedom and is scared of how our chocolates will 1812 your chocolates. Seriously the bastardisation of our chocolates is a bordering on a crime against humanity because that South American sourced garbage is truly some of the most revolting ingestible matter in the known and unknown universe.

By “1812 your chocolates” do you mean have a “bloody war that inflitcts gains and losses on both sides but ultimately doesn’t give either side an advantage by the end, allowing both sides to declare themselves the winner?”

Nah. You guys decide to remove more British presence in the new world, we catch wind on this and head on over. Some houses are burned down in particular white ones, the east coast comes under our control. You guys agree to our demands and stop trading with France. Canada is kinda born and we sod off because a bunch of merchants in Liverpool were complaining just a bit too loudly. Some wars happen elsewhere but after we’re done with that. We have a chat with you guys and become best buds over some lovely Jaffa Cakes.

I’ve had them on both sides of the pond, they’re the same on either side. And American chocolate is delicious and better. Hershey's over Cadbury all muthafuckin day.

Counterpoint: Canada was pretty much a thing prior to the war (at least as much as it was after the war, although with more national pride after), we didn’t agree to stop trading with France (the Napoleonic war ended before the war of 1812 did, and when the Napoleonic ended you guys stopped caring whether we traded with France or not), your goal of using the Native Americans to create a buffer state to prevent further westward expansion of the U.S. was blown to hell, and while you took control of parts of the east coast (namely eastern Maine, which isn’t impressive, and Washinton DC, which is, but isn’t that large of an area, especially when you couldn’t take Baltimore with it) we took Lake Erie and western Canada. At the Treaty of Ghent both sides made concessions and agreements (for example, y’all agreed to pay for the damage you did to Washington and let us fish in the St Lawrence Gulf), everyone succeeded in some of their goals but failed in others, and everybody gave back the territory they had taken control of in the fighting. Sounds like a draw to me.

Hey if you find your buttery turds delicious then power to you but they aren’t the same because for legals reasons we can’t sell our stuff directly Stateside. Also Jaffas are cakes not biscuits/cookies it’s literally in the name.

I had a whip w/Flake in London. It was the most foul excuse for soft serve ice cream I’ve ever had, and I’ve had some sad fuckin’ ice cream cones. The Cadbury flake, the turd topping plopped into that pile of shit, is disgusting, and should be ashamed of itself.

Not a cookie, it’s a cake. It’s sponge. Doh.

I lik a nice McVities Jaffa Cake.

I do get a little too annoyed when they come out with lime jaffa cakes, raspberry jaffa cakes, strawberry jaffa cakes, etc... I’m sorry if it’s not orange it’s not jaffa, jaffa is an orange.

It’s when people say it’s a biscuit or a cookie. It’s a cakes (granted a very small cake, but a cake none the less).

A cake goes hard when it goes off, a biscuit/cookie goes soft when it goes off.
