to think that nobody puts biscuits on a plate just for yourself?

[PyongyangKipperbang]

Just seen 3 adverts where someone sits down to a cup of coffee and a biscuit, with a plate of about 8 biscuits. Does anyone do that in real life?!

Surely either you take a couple from the packet or you take the whole packet?! Who is going to frig around dirtying a plate and possibly taking more/less that you are going to want?

I should say that I am non biscuit eater, but I have never seen anyone put biscuits out like this!

POINT OF ORDER

Jaffa Cakes are NOT biscuits in law.

And they come in packs of 12 for a reason

That is...
In law, they are not biscuits. :o

No, they aren't legally, neither are tunnocks teacakes.

I'd still put them on a little plate.

Except I wouldn't, because I've been known to eat the pack if they were jaffas, and I won't touch tunnock's teacakes.

I loved teacakes when I was a kid, but wouldnt touch them now.

I dont have a sweet tooth at all, dont eat cakes, biscuits, sweets, chocolate etc but there is something about Jaffa cakes! THey are none of the things I like but put together.......I do eat them by the dozen :o

pyongyang there's nothing quite like them! My colleagues used to buy them me all the time as well. Especially if there was Bad News or it was my birthday or something. Can't eat them at the moment (pregnancy aversion), and I'm gutted! Hope it will pass and I can continue on my 12 jaffas in a session habit.

And they come in packs of 12 for a reason

I agree. 12 is obviously a single portion.
