I hadn't had one in decades and thought I liked it so I sampled one at F&M afternoon tea and can confirm it's awful.

Good man. That's one more for team #GoodTaste.

I mean, it does try to warn you with its awful garishness... and not to mention the fact it's wrapped in m*rz*p*n. Should be enough to ward anyone off really.

It's the beverage that is drunk with Battenberg that defines good taste - PG Tips: the height of sophistication, Earl Grey: total snob, Yorkshire Tea, philistine.....Coffee, unthinkable

"Yorkshire Tea, philistine"

Are you just looking for a row or did you have some sort of tongue accident as a child?

Cake.

Efficiently shaped, colourful and can easily be broken into bite size chunks.

What more do you want?

Cake. And a wonderful thing it is too. Always called window cake when I was a kid. Where this battenberg nonsense came from, I’ve no idea. It’s like call Nestles ‘Neslay’!

I prefer Stollen for that cake-y marzipan hit.

Battenberg is what my nan used to serve on bone china plates with paper doilies whenever she had the WI meeting at her home. That and those Mr Kipling Country Slices, sort of fruit cake slices with sugar on top. And her homemade Victoria sponge which used a whole carton of cream and probably hastened a few WI'ers off the mortal coil.
