What is The King of Biscuits?

[Guest James]

I love this question!

[Guest muff]

jaffa cakes are actually cakes, not biscuits - believe it or not there was a HUGE legal look into this as it affects how it is sold

A biscuit goes soft when it has "gone off" whereas a cake goes hard

i thought so!..... bloody nice though ;)

[Guest drblow]

Interstingly the jaffa cake debate also involved the fact that cakes are subject to less tax than biscuits! :shock:

I voted 'other' coz my fav biscuit of all time is the humble breakaway!! ;)

As an accountant, may I just clarify that the legal challenge was over the VAT treatment of the said comestible.

It was held that Jaffa Cakes are in fact a cake, and therefore subject to VAT at the standard rate, which is currently 17.5%.

Biscuits are consdered to be Food and therefore are subject to VAT at the zero rate.

i want to make a complaint about these new-fangled caramel chocolate biscuit bombs...

One bite and its stringy caramel all over ones smoking jacket as well as a shower of chocolate covered crumbs that melt in a blink and smear like poo when wiped away...

I'm not impressed

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

I think we're onto something here, maybe I need to start a biscuits.modaco.com discussion forum ;)

[Guest drblow]

The mention of fig rolls makes me think of an alternative topic ... biscuits you hate!! ;) Like those "nice" biscuits your granny always had, that were in fact NOT nice at all!

[Guest James]

i took 'Fig Rolls' off the bottom of the list to put 'Other...' in.
