Initially posted in the other thread...but moved to this one:

McVitie insisted that each Jaffa Cake was a small cake and therefore shouldn't carry VAT. They went to court over it and successfully proved their case by making a giant jaffa cake and showing that when you make it to a larger size it is the shape and texture of a cake. Imagine that....a massive Jaffa Cake....mmmm...orangey bit...mmmm Here's a news article from the Daily[Hate]Mail, on the state of the British Biscuit. Apparently British biscuit buying habits are changing and we are in danger of losing our biscuity identity. For shame! Shame! Damn you Americans with your rich, crumbly cookies. And you Belgians with your gourmet biscuits. You're all corrupting us away from the good old British 'plain' biscuit. Long live the Digestive, I say! All Hail the Rich Tea! And raise a pint one and all, to the Garibaldi. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/fo...=feeds-newsxml

That was it Danac! spot on i think i heard about this on QI but your answer was the best! il raise a pint (tea of course) to the near extinct humbling crumbling biccie. i think they slowly sneakily evolved from a biscuit of which you could eat many, to a biscuit bar, to a weird hybrid cakey thing. id have a go at a large jaffa though and do the full moon half moon eclipse trick

The kind of look like a homemade pop tart. I do not like pop tarts but I bet I'd like those.

A biscuit in France is what english people call a "French Butter Cookie".
It is also the answer to the following question : "What's hard and dry when it gets in and soft and wet when it gets out ?"

In the contemporary jargon of Philosophy, a biscuit is to a person's soul what an Easter egg is to a software program. It's a hidden message that manifests itself as what most people refer to as "a calling." A calling to rebel against the status quo is referred to as a tea biscuit disposition, a calling to embrace all mankind is a French biscuit, and a calling to help other creatures is a dog biscuit ... etc.
