Cake.

Otherwise it'd be called a Jaffa Biscuit.

Biscuit?
Cookie, the word is cookie.
Unless you mean scone.
Or cake.
Or unleavened cake either sweet or savoury.
Following this topic compounds my confusion even more; UK = English language supposedly, yet biscuit can mean too many things.
This is serious business guys/gals, wars were started over less.
So please, let's arrest T.J., thereby relieving the problem, and use more descriptive words.

Amongst English speaking people outside of the North American continent, cookie is a subset of the baked goods known as biscuits (although according to Wikipedia, cookie describes a plain bun in Scotland).

Yes it is and they are both delicious


P.S. @Frank. When I saw that you had quoted Siobhan I thought you were going to pick up on 'Scotch'.

Well it is true that I have often picked up Scotch <lopsided grin>

It's a cake, because it dries as it ages.

A biscuit goes soft as it ages.

this logic can be applied to Sooooo Much as you age.

Oh and it’s a biscuit, it’s sold as a biscuit and marketed as a biscuit.
Though good it will never be the KING of biscuits that title goes to the.......

If my memories are good, one day I saw a report on the TV in which there was a country (or island) where the inhabitants said that at one time, the lobster and the spiny lobsterr was the food of the poors.

The rich did not look at this infamous food.

This is very true:

Prior to this time, lobster was considered a mark of poverty or as a food for indentured servants or lower members of society in Maine, Massachusetts, and the Canadian Maritimes. It has been suggested servants specified in employment agreements that they would not eat lobster more than twice per week, however there is no evidence for this.^{[URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobster#cite_note-30"][30][/URL][URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobster#cite_note-31"][31][/URL]} Lobster was also commonly served in prisons, much to the displeasure of inmates.

OK, had to look it up.

Huh- found it on a site called:
http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com/biscuits/previous.php3?item=30

which is of course the sort of site that I should be reading everyday.

 

[Patrick_68000]

This is very true:

Thank you for confirmation.

And I want to go to prison !

It's called a Mint Viscount. Using the most common Jaffa Cake argument, there are people on this thread who think you are a cannibal.
