Aldi has Jaffa cakes this week

@RiotDemon It is certainly better than eating air, but it is not in fact the better choice between Jaffa cakes

@RiotDemon

@RiotDemon In UK they offer a “Lemon Slime” flavour cake bar around this time of year which is a tangy lemony goodness, but my fave is blackcurrant.

There was a passion fruit version for a minute, and strawberry which were both excellent as well.

@katylava actually it did get at least mildly more popular. They launched Stargate Command a few weeks ago. For $20 you have unlimited access to all the series and movies until May including the upcoming webisode-like series Stargate Origins.

I hadn’t heard of Jaffa cakes until someone posted about them there. Guess I’m making a trip to Aldi haha

@earlyre unfortunately Meijer is 8 hours away.

@earlyre Also a ready supply available on Amazon. Also World Market usually has them.

@earlyre I’m going to place my first order from Meijer to be delivered tomorrow. Maybe I’ll include them.

@duodec Thank you, Christopher Robin. (From the unpublished writings of A.A. Milne.)

@OldCatLady

Even Eeyore smiles
When some friend braves the miles
to bring those special cakes
that only Aldi makes
The orange chocolate fix
to sadness’ hurtful tricks

@OldCatLady

Someone said “Eeyore”?

You rang?

/giphy eeyore

@f00l Poor fellow needs an orange Jaffa cake after that.

@RiotDemon Nothing is better than Polish anything, and they’ll be lots of bad words said about any one who says otherwise! But if no one else is around we can pretend to be from the old country and argue for the hell of it.

@RiotDemon I’ve had the Polish ones too and agree they are somewhat better. They are hard to find and much more expensive than the ones from Aldi’s. Plus they always sell out of the better orange ones and there’s only second best left when I find them .

@duodec I work close to a Polish restaurant that sells them. I have to resist going there because I also buy lots of chocolates.

@RiotDemon I wish there was a Polish restaurant near here. All we have is a Polish store so there is good veal loaf and kielbasa. and other things that I find more disgusting than foodlike.

@cranky1950 I’d eat there more often but I forget when I want to order lunch to go, I need to call over thirty minutes ahead because they’re pretty slow.

@cranky1950 Not a huge fan of most Polish Vodkas.

@Pantheist That’s because you’re woman. Uh

@cranky1950 Potatoes are for eating.

@Pantheist right that’s why I only drink 100% pure grain alcohol mixed with distilled water.

@cranky1950 Funny you should say that. I honestly thought it was a good idea to mix everclear with spring water last weekend. Not the best idea I’ve ever had.

@Pantheist That’s also how they make cheap vodka. That was a big part of Dr Strangelove.

@Pantheist

Spring water might be better than grape juice or orange juice I suppose.

You set out wanting and planning to feel like hell the next day, right?

@cranky1950 I’m the guy that mixes Fire Ball with Everclear.
Everclear gives me a strange buzz. Not like Vodka or other things I’ve tried.

@f00l @cranky1950 Well, my thinking was 95% alcohol doesn’t leave a lot of room for anything else so it might be good and cheaper than a decent vodka. Big mistake.

@Pantheist You need to mix it with orange juice and Tahitian Treat. Ah, college.

@DarkHuD there is a cookie called berger cookie it is a maryland classic it is americanized jaffa cake basically cake bit is there to deliver the fudge. Mmmm
