The Ultimate Question.

Lookes like a cookie to me

The clue is in the name Jaffa CAKE lol then again you would have to look at the diference between a Cake and Buscut. That is to say Cakes usually have spongy bases Buscuits dont therefore on that basis I must conclude;

Jaffa Cakes are indeed Cakes (and if they wernt we should sue them for false advetisement)

But you find Jaffa Cakes in the biscuit aisle of a supermarket.

Oh yeah! I hadn't thought of that.

You're probably right. We're heading way into unsuitable territory. Sorry, my bad.

Yes, you are. Stop derailing my thread with mingingness.

That is merely a packaging issue. Legally it is still a cake!

Besides - who made the supermarkets supreme arbitrators of our foods? If they put it in the bleach aisle it would still be a cake!

My supermarket has the olive oil on a shelf above the freezer containing chips. Is olive oil a frozen potato product? I think not.

I wonder if Cakes were taxed and biscuits were not if Jaffa Cakes would make a case as to why it is, despite the name, a biscuit.

We may never know...

Still, a harder case to make, given that the product has cake in the name, goes stale like a cake, and is baked like a cake.
