 Obviously your tastes are not refined enough to enjoy that imported delicacy. Feel free to send me any leftovers.

A pack?
What, and leave the other pack in the cupboard un-opened?

Nope, looks like the English got dibs on the inventin' soccer thing. Checked the good ol' Wikipedia that leads to other sourcesd etc., etc., and so on, ad nauseum. Very proud of their kickball game they are. So much so that they let the international governing body live in Switzerland. What the heck is up wit' 'dat? FIFA - Fédération Internationale de Football Association. Wow! That is so very English.
I have never had the pleasure of a Jaffe Cake. Ordered some once from an importer but they took my money and then waited a month to let me know they were out of stock. Finally got my cash back but that ain't what I wanted.
Ride On!

I read somewhere (cant remember just where) that the game of soccer, was intevneted durring the middle ages. And was called "Danes Head". Because the Danes at the time where Viking and the body of a dead raider on a raid gone wrong, would be decapitated and the head used for a ball.Later a real ball was used. Dont know how true or untrue that is. But anyhow I've already expressed my opinion on Jaffa Cakes, And Newcastle Ale. But you will never get me to like Soccer

I've got a store nearby that sells a lot of imported foodstuff. I've bought an tried the Vitties on at least two occasions. I've tried my damnedest to acquire a taste for them, but it seems to me that our brothers and sisters from across the pond have a strange propensity for waxy, bad tasting chocolate over crappy flavored dough. IMO (and to each their own) The crappy little hockey pucks make ‘little Debbie’ into food fit for royalty…
