The court was adjudicated by Mr Donald Potter QC, who found in favour of McVitie's and ruled that whilst Jaffa Cakes had characteristics of both cakes and biscuits, the product should be considered a cake and not a biscuit, meaning that VAT is not paid on Jaffa Cakes in the United Kingdom.[16][22][23]

In 2021, artificially intelligent binary classifiers "usually used in the field of astronomy" were trained on 92 traditional recipes of cakes and biscuits and determined Jaffa Cakes to be cakes.[25]

The slop machine and legal nerds says its a cake, thus its a biscuit.

It can't be a biscuit. Biscuits look like this:

That is clearly a scone of some kind.

Maybe it is a scone, but this is definitely a biscuit:

This is disrespecting my Appalachia heritage and I won't stand for it!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Hmmm... You're right. Actually, I think this is what a biscuit looks like:

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wrong, only American crackers think like that. True British crackers know it's actually like the picture above.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

only American crackers think like that

Oh yeah I much rather go with the British crackers, the OG racists.

I agree as a proud Appalachian

I loath the dutch, but i loath the english more, so cookie it is.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But "koekje" means "little cake," so maybe it's both? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The dutch are sinister. And duplicitous. See how they live both bove and below the sea? It is a hint at their nature.

Very true!

Also their windmills are hiding something, I just know it

I changed the title to the correct thing so now you look silly.

Sorry the fush and chups eater says what?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (3 children)

what if instead of jaffa cakes they were Jafar cakes and they were threatening to take over Agrabah

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The first time I heard an angloid talking about these weird cookies, I legit thought they were spelled "jaffer" because of their fucked up accent

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

the need to categorize like thus is core to the angloid physiognomy

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Just like the Jelly is core to the Cake that is the Jaffa Cake. Thanks for agreeing with me Comrade.

This is a cookie. Why would you call this a cake. It's not like you're gonna cut slices out of it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Is a small slice of cake a cookie because it's small?

Read theory nerd. Jaffa cake is a cake and you're a fraud in front of everyone.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

It's a very small and awful cake.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

~~If the only options are "cookie" and "biscuit" I'd say "cookie".~~

Title changed, I guess it's "cake". Biscuits in burgerland are different, I would probably say "slop" or honestly "mass produced confection" if somebody asked me out of the blue to classify this.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Please remove your rude and unnecessary comment that says I got the title wrong. I never got the title wrong and anyone who says otherwise is jealous of my skateboarding skills.

I'm asking the mods to put it the log that I am NOT mad but I am still reporting this comment for misinformation.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

cake. it's literally a sponge idk why this has ever been up for debate

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

but do you condemn the terror attacks in Jaffa?

Anyway it's a fucking cake obviously

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Of course, I hate everyone who attacks the primacy of the Jaffa cake in the processed snack world. We need a holy war against the kkkracka oreo cookie and its Masonic symbolism.

Typical kkkracka middle of the road nonsense.
