I have nothing to add other than that Cadbury's Dairy Milk is awful.

 

 

Cadbury's Dairy Milk Chocolate is (far and away) the best taste experience on the planet!

 

In the chocolate stakes, Kit Kat is next best.

 

Then, the third best taste in the W O R L D - is "Marmite on Toast".

 

Heaven !!!!!!!!!!!

 

If you like Marmite give Bovril on toast a whril. Honestly, Its not only the pengest of all extracts, but suprisingly the perfect accompaniment to toast.

 

 

Tried it, it is good, but prefer Marmite.

 

Grew up (till teens) eating Marmite and Beef Dripping on toast and in sandwiches.

 

Couldn't eat the Beef Dripping bit now mind . . ugh!

I think we're all just biased towards whatever chocolate we grew up with. Familiarity >>>> New tastes.

 

I'm not. I grew up poor, and only ever got poor chocolate. As soon as I broke free from my parent's crushing austerity, I bought better chocolate. And on the subject of biscuits (we were talking about cakes, but never mind) anybody that claims you can't beat a custard cream, is a creep.

 

 

Also Oreo's are shite. I'd rather have chlorinated chicken, thanks.

Has to be the worst thread in forum history now.

 

Disagree. This has to be the weirdest ever thread I've seen. We've gone from takeover, Sonyas bits, biscuits, marmite, Bovril.......this thread is history in the making. One future generations will read and marvel at. A time when NUFC have just won the world soccer/football championship will be reflected in this awesome thread that will have reached a zillion pages.........

 

(Oh, and I used to have a Bovril drink at half time in SJP in the 60's. Still love the stuff.....rock on boys!

 

Oh aye. The half-time cup of Bovril was synonyous with a visit to SJP up until SJH took over. I'm sure it's back on the menu these days.

Can someone explain to me in excruciating detail why a Jaffa Cake is a Cake and not a biscuit, bar it having "cake" in its name instead of "biscuit"?

 

As was mentioned cake goes hard when stale, biscuits go soft.

 

My favourite VAT case was to determine whether Jaffa Cakes were indeed cakes and therefore have 0% VAT or chocolate biscuits and therefore have the full 20% VAT on them (Cake is a staple food, biscuits also a staple food but biscuits covered in chocolate are luxury items). McVities sell Jaffa Cakes in biscuit aisles in shops rather than with other cakes (more people shop in biscuit aisles) and package them as you would a biscuit but say they are cakes. HMRC said that if you want to sell them as biscuits they are biscuits.

 

Case went on for days until a plate were left out overnight and someone spotted that they went hard over night - voila cake.

 

So basically it is a cake because the law says so

 

There are similar cases surrounding normal chocolate and cooking chocolate - Kinnerton lost a case last year that cost them £250,000 in back VAT.

Love a viscount. They’re very cheap now too. You can get double packs for a quid.

 

My missus hates mint so I can leave them in the press knowing full well they won’t be touched ?

Seriously man, wtf has happened to this thread??

 

All of this biscuit stuff and not even one mention of an orange penguin or club. And which freak has a Viennese as his favourite biscuit  :knuppel2:

 

Orange Penguin is what I imagine paint stripper tastes like.
