Ah, Jaffa Cakes. Cake or biscuit, that is the question.
How about neither (nor anything else fit for eating)?  |

My favourites are oatcakes, the ones with cracked black pepper in them  or plain rough ones with cheese and Geeta's Lime & Chilli chutney.  I'm not very keen on sweet biscuits though I do sometimes eat digestives, even on occasions plain chocolate ones. I'm not munching any of these at the moment.  Biscuits get softer when they get old, cakes get harder. |

They are not much better - but at least with baked beans there's some sort of nutrition to be got out of them. What taste do Jaffa Cakes have other than sugar and gungy mucous? |

Chocolate, Ian. Plain chocolate. But you're right. And I much prefer:  |

I have become rather partial to Green and Black's Chocolate Flapjack Biscuits, though I can't actually afford to buy them.

Oatcakes are definitely biscuits  . (I've got some of those in my cupboard, Andy D.) |

Ian, they just taste of, er, well, Jaffa Cakes and sometimes only a Jaffa Cake will do. But only if you like them I can't stand Lincoln Creams (or Pimple biscuits as a friend calls them) but I know that some people speak very highly of them. Aside from Rich Tea I can't think of a more unexciting biscuit. But who cares? Life is too short to fret about biscuits! Break open the Bourbons! |

Here's a cream Lincoln. Is that what you meant? Looks unappetising to me.  |

I'm a nut muncher.... (innuendo vehemently denied!).... particularly the bags of pre-shelled nuts which come from Lidl, or if I'm awash with dosh, Julian Graves. Not all the time, mind: a handful in the morning, and some more around now time.
Oatcakes, definitely; particularly the local bakery's cheese oatcakes (heaven in a two-inch square) which been banned from the house due to my predilection for eating a packet at a sitting. Plain oatcakes spread with fromage frais and topped with rhubarb and ginger preserve don't half hit the spot, too.

Oatcakes, love 'em! And cheese oatcakes <swoooooon> although I suspect the ones that I buy aren't in the same league as those prohibited from the Dough pantry  |

I get through a jar of these very quickly (and, indeed, vice versa):  |

Pace yourself Opi, pace yourself, man! They are rather lovely though. Bite, crunch, heat. YESSSSSS! At the moment I am being seduced by the siren call of a jar of cornichons and white onions. I know they are fabulously crunchy and piquant and I don't think that I can hold out much longer!! <gannetemoticon> |
