Cake, it may look like a biscuit, but it tastes like a cake.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Cakes go hard when they're left out
Biscuits go soft.

Hence, Jaffa Cakes are cakes.

The court ruling was for tax purposes. biscuits don't have VAT on them. Chocolate biscuits do, as they're a luxury item. Cakes don't have VAT.

So, a Jaffa Cake being a cake means no VAT.

Woo! CSM XI!

The important thing being that both cake and non-chocolate biscuits are therefore considered essential items, and should obviously be eaten at every opportunity.

I like the way you think, although I consider chocolate HobNobs and Caramel Digestives as essential luxuries.

One run by lawyers and accountants, the UK.
Our tax system is positively arcane and deliberately confusing with taxes on taxes.

Almost all of them.

Rice is a luxury good around here, for instance. XD
