The Jaffa Cake - enjoyed during tea breaks for more than 80 years - has gone oblong for the very first time.

The snack, with a sponge base and orange jelly filling covered in chocolate, is traditionally round.

But following research, a German confectionery firm has decided to market a new shape.

Bahlsen claim the new variety, tentatively branded 'Oblong Jaffa Cakes', is better because of its edge-to-edge orange filling.

Do you like Jaffa Cakes and will it make a difference to you whether they are round or oblong?

Does that mean the orange bit will be oblong? If there's more orangey goodness then I'mm all for oblong jaffa cakes.

They say it will have edge-to-edge orange filling, so I guess there will be more orangey goodness. But they might make them a little smaller than the round ones, so perhaps not. :hmm:

M&S have done rectangular jaffa cakes for a while now, and i like them. The orangey bit goes right to the edge.

That said, I have a method for eating 'real' jaffa cakes and that involves nibbling round the outside first so I would definitely miss that!

Jaffa cakes should be round not any other shape
I love them eating the chocolate off them and then the orange :)

The whole "full moon, half moon, no moon" thing that they used to do on the adverts is out then. It will be strange seeing them oblong.

Cakes go stale, biscuits go soft ergo jaffa cakes are cakes.

The manufacturer went to court over cake Vs biscuit because you have to pay import tax on one but not the other.
