Jaffa Cakes: Biscuit or Cake?

The source of one of the most complex conundrums ever to challenge mankind:

Is it a cake or is it a biscuit?

If you leave a biscuit out, it goes soft. If you leave a cake out, it goes hard.
If you leave a Jaffa Cake out, it goes hard. Thus it is a cake.

Although the true reason they're called Jaffa Cakes, i believe, is because cakes are exempt from VAT, but biscuits are not.

To bore you all to death - There was a court case on this to prove it was a cake because of the VAT issue.

McVities made a massive Jaffa Cake to prove it due to ingredients consistancy..etc. It was also proposed that biscuits go soft when stale and cakes go hard - Jaffa Cakes go hard!

It's not a debate as it was proven in court!! ;)

Definitely a cake......biscuits go soft when they go off while a cake goes hard and stale.

Nick the post by Sheepy quite clearly states 5 days ago. Which is not far from being word for word the same as the post by Stupot07.

So? That is the whole idea of a forum! Some people don't come on every day so don't see it!

Don't open it if you don't like it!
