is it that biscuits go soggy when you leave the top off the tin, and cake dries out?

I still don't get the whole: biscuit, cookie, cake, digestive thing.

That is, I believe the technical difference, in law, between cakes and biscuits (one of which are VATable, one aren't, and a court case was taken by Inland Revenue over Jaffa cakes - cake or biscuit?).

Zig said...

biscuits are vatable so if you leave the lid off can you reclaim the vat?

Z said...

Chocolate biscuits are VATable, but since a Jaffa cake dries out when left out, the Inland Revenue lost its case which claimed that the Jaffa cake is not a cake but a biscuit. A chocolate-covered cake isn't liable for VAT.

Oh Rimshot, if you want to understand what the British know (as their birthright) about biscuits, may I suggest this site? - http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com/

I'M gonna drool if I look this up.
That's okay....LOL..I'll blame Z.

But what happens when you take off the lid of the biscuit tin of life?

I, Like The View said...

erm. . . everything goes a little soggy and then dries out. . .

. . .possibly

or you discover that in fact it might have been better to have left the lid on, whilst hoping all the time that eventually someone will come along and offer you a new biscuit variety entirely?
