Jaffa Cakes....

[osprey]

Are they cakes or biscuits as Tesco's have them in the cake section and Somerfield have them in with the biscuits? Please help as it's driving me crazy!!!!!!!

[dzug]

It depends

Have a read of this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffa_Cake

The taxman says they are cakes.

So glad that you have nothing serious to worry about.

Of course they are cakes! Biscuits are crunchy!!

For some bizarre reason you pay VAT on biscuits but not on cakes.

Fine explanation here: http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com/biscuit s/index.php3 !

if they were biscuits, wouldn't they be called ''Jaffa Biscuits'', or am I missing the point here?

[rugeleyboy]

i would of said they were biscuits but after reading all these post i can now see the error in my ways!!

jaffa biscuits indeed!!!

If you leave cake out of the tin it goes dry if you leave a biscuit out of the packet it goes soggy. So I think Jaffas are definitely a cake

They come uner biscuits in the VAT thing. If you buythem in Makro which lists everything before VAT - then you have Zero Vat listed on Jaffa Cakes - they now sell them in a Yard stick of Jaffa ~Cakes too

Sorry muddles it up the wrong way round there. That's why it used to drive me old father mad having to pay CAT on things that were the size of biscuits
