It's an important topic that I discussed with my RE teacher and a few friends today. Are Jaffa Cakes true biscuits? Technically, yes. The reason they don't have Jaffa Biscuits is because if they did then they would have to pay a biscuit tax. I'm guessing you all think I'm making this up, but both my RE teacher and friends talked of this age old tax that was set upon Bourbons and Digestives. In my opinion, they're cakes, because they aren't crunchy. All biscuits I know of are crunchy, while the Jaffa Cake is softer, with a jelly centre.
However, in 1991 McVities defended the classification of "cake" due to the fact that it's ingredients were similar to one of a cakes. But, if you go into your local ASDA, Morrisons, Walmart, whatever, you'll find Jaffa CAKES in the biscuit aisle, and the fact that they are in the shape of a biscuit, not a cake.
The court favoured McVities argument for it being a cake and not a biscuit, I would've sided with them too. Because biscuits are crumbly, Jaffa Cakes are not.
So, are Jaffa Cakes real cakes?
Yes. Yes they are.

Eight Pain In The Arse Xbox Achievements I Have
It's safe to say that I have a passion (addiction) for games. But nothing makes my playing better than having a crazy objective to do while I play. They're completely optional, but add to my ever growing achievements list. Not all of them are fun though, like these ones:
Dead Rising 2 - Zombie Fu 20G
Killed 1,000 Zombies barehanded. Those were some killer moves!
While not the most annoying, it's one of the most time consuming things I have ever done in my entire life. One of the only reasons I did it was for the Shaun of the Dead outfit which is insanely awesome! But to do this achievement, you'll need a lot of spare time. Killing 1,000 zombies with your hands and feet is annoying, especially when your attacks do very little damage and sometimes take up to three hits to kill those obnoxious, undead vegetables.
Call of Duty: World at War - Gunslinger/Hardened War Hero 15G/100G
Assassinated General Amsel with a sidearm
Completed the game on Hardened or Veteran difficulty and won on all fronts
God, I cannot tell you how many attempts these two achievements take, especially the War Hero achievement, The Gunslinger achievement is all about aim, which I'm not very good at. I did manage to pull it off due to the luck however and it sits proudly with EVERY SINGLE OTHER Call of Duty: World at War achievement. All 66 of them. Which means I had to play through the campaign on Veteran to get the War Hero achievement, which is a task of it's own. War Hero literally drove me insane with how difficult it was to pull off and the Gunslinger was just plain annoying.
Halo 3 - Vidmaster Challenge: Annual - 0G
After 9/25/08, completed Halo on 4-player Legendary LIVE co-op, with Iron, and everyone in Ghosts.
When I first read the description for this achievement, I got a little frightened. The last level of Halo 3, which is called Halo, is one of the toughest missions in the game even on Easy. The Iron skull turns off spawning, which means that you need to rush through to each checkpoint to get your team back, of course you can't seen as though the enemies are tough as nails. Mind you, I did it with a pretty incompetent team and it's the achievement I'm most proud of getting, even though all it gave me was a piece of armour that every single player now owns.
Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare - Hunting Season - 50G
Vanquish 100 Soldiers, 100 Scientists, 100 Engineers and 100 All-Stars
This was such a grind-a-thon. 400 Kills in all, providing that you ARE playing as the Plants and you ARE on such a good team that you can easily rack up about ten kills a game. This achievement was bloody horrendous to do, I'm terrible at the game and don't like PvZ that much, but for 50G I couldn't resist...and went on to get 795 more gamerscore on the game...
Portal 2 - You Saved Science - 100G
Complete all test chambers in all courses of co-op
Not the hardest achievement, but none the less a pain in the arse. Especially if both people doing the playthrough are incompetent buffoons. For this achievement, you'll need two people who are good at Portal 2 (or have access to the internet so they can look up the walkthrough), enough time, let's say a good five hours or so and of course, internet. It took longer than expected, mainly because my "thinking with portals" ended up with my partner in science dying... a lot.
Quantom of Solace - The Best Player In Service - 15G
Be a top player in an online match.
Doesn't sound difficult at all now does it? Well, what if I told you this:
Nobody ever has and/or will play the online of Quantom of Solace. Not only that, but if you do find a game, then you'll have to be very lucky that you don't find a game full of hardcore players who play private matches and all of that sort. I got lucky, very lucky.
WWE All Stars - The King of Kings - 50G
Defeated the entire WWE All Stars roster as Triple H
This has to be the most time consuming achievement ever. Not only do you have to beat EVERY SINGLE person on the roster, you'll need to unlock them as well. So, hours and hours are put into this, gathering the characters and then beating them all. Time consuming and annoying, because All Stars wasn't the best game.
Dead Rising 2 - Zombie Fu 20G
Killed 1,000 Zombies barehanded. Those were some killer moves!
