On the great cake riots of 2010

On the great cake riots of 2010

"Welcome to this Ministry of Cow Counting information briefing on efficient methods of counting cows in the twenty-first century.

"Due to a recent Freedom of Information request from a member of the public, we have been forced to disclose how much this organisation spends on cake.

"As a result of this, we are unable to provide you with neither cake nor biscuits for the duration of this course.

"We are thankful, however, for the 10 kilo tin of instant coffee donation from the local Scouts."

This is the stuff of popular revolt. Nations have fallen for less.

"Any questions?"

"What about jaffa cakes? They're neither cake nor biscuit."

"Please leave."

When I worked for the Ministry of Field Sizes (closely allied with Cow Counting) there was a similar question regarding the provision of very large tins of Quality Street and Roses. It was restricted information and is presumably the reason why I had to sign the Official Secrets Act

Turd. Those are digestives, not jaffas.

These are great cookies. In Norway they're called Bixit. Took me 15 years to realize it was a wordplay..

And now I'm fat.

I saw Turkish Biscuits yesterday in ASDA. Like Jaffa Cakes but with Turkish Delight in the middle. They were called biscuits on the packet though. I sense conflict.
