In tax law a Jaffa cake is a cake not a biscuit and therefore there’s no VAT on them, unlike biscuits
They decided because when they go stale biscuits go soft and cakes go hard, and having accidentally eaten the last stale Jaffa cake in the office once, I can testify to them going rock solid. Ugh!
But my faves are:
- ginger nuts (the spicier the better)
- fruit shortcakes
- jammie dodgers
And I’m rather partial to a bit of decent, buttery shortbread too. Mmmmmmm
