# 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.
