Cake Vs Biscuit Debate.

Firstly it was the Jaffa cake, now the chocolate snowball has fallen foul of judge's high standards of what makes a cake and what makes a biscuit. What do you think?

Do you mean teacakes, methyl?

[ladyalex]

Must be Scottish then, Humber.

A bit old fashioned too....what my Mum used to call a bar of chocolate.

[Tilly2]

......the ones with a bit of jam at the bottom, on top of the biscuit?

You can't dunk cake.

Well, you can but it tends to end messily.

[ladyalex]

You certainly wouldn't want to dunk a snowball....unless you wanted a very sweet chocolate and coconut drink.....

Teacakes where I grew up were bread rolls, or barm cakes, in more refined climes.

Hello m'lady, long time no "speak"! I hope you & yours are well?

Cake should be served with cream, biscuits are for dunking - the biscuit that doesn't need a bit of moist wi' it (as I believe Mamya is fond of saying, being from oop t'North 'n' all...) hasn't been invented IMO :-)

[Tilly2]

These are the teacakes I meant.

mamy, that's teacake porn.

[Tilly2]

Isn't life problematic?

[Lie-in King]

Am always ready for the slathering of butter...

...Good evening Mamya, trust you're well? :-)

[Mamyalynne]

I am dear, you?

[Lie-in King]

I'm well thank you, though I seem to be in urgent need of teacakes & butter now!

I'm reserving judgement until snowballs and Jaffa cakes appear on The Great British Bake Off.
