Where do you stand on the cake/biscuit debate?
I say they're a cake, because biscuits by definition have to be baked twice and they aren't. I think technically it's a kind of muffin actually.

Don't you watch QI?
Apparently the definition is cakes go hard when stale and biscuits go soft, hence Jaffas are cakes and therefore not VATable as they are not a luxury item like chocolate biscuits.

What? Since when do biscuits have to be baked twice?
I think that's just the etymology of the word, not what you do with actual biscuits these days.
