 		#114 - Green - Taking the Biscuit - Star set
Again apologies for not owning a scanner so no pictures I'm afraid.

Name all the biscuits

No meeting in the Mind Candy offices is complete without a well-stacked plate of biscuits. We tailor every selection to our guests. We doubt anyone notices but that's not the point.

This is one such offering. Can you identify the names of all nine biscuit?

Please could some king soul upload a piccie - I'm beginning to feel inadequent.

 		This is what I've got so far after showing my dad (a true biscuit fanatic) the card:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

1. Jammy Dodger
2. Bourbon Biscuit
3. Nice biscuit?
4. Malted Milk
5. ?
6. Chocolate Thin?
7. Tea biscuit?
8. Ginger nut/snap
9. Happy Face

Obviously the ?'s denote the fact that I'm not sure that's the official name/spelling.



I forgot to add that one the card they have also written
Quote:
We were very keen to Inculde a Jaffa Cake in this selection but not wanting to fan the flames of the long running 'Is a Jaffa Cake a cake or a biscuit' debate we reluctantly decided to leave it off.


Of course, those of you who are regular watchers of QI on BBC 2 will know the correct answer.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Ginger, Ginger Crunch or Golden Crunch

But i'm pretty sure it should be Ginger nut


I'm slightly concerned by the ordering of 2 and 3, all the others are in 'depth' order....

not sure about the ordering, but they had to place no.3 strategically or it would have revealed a rather incriminating word printed across it.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

2 could be a Bourbon cream, but I dont think we can quite see what colour the filling is.


rach =)

Twisted Evil Sorry, MindCandy had to throw some flames on the debate. Evil or Very Mad

The French word Biscuit literally translated into English means Twice Cooked therefore a Jaffa Cake which is not and has a sponge base cannot be a biscuit.

 		The european ruling on Jaffa cakes:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A cake goes hard when it goes off. A biscuit goes soft when it goes off. A jaffa cake goes hard when it goes off. Hence a Jaffa cake is a cake. So shall it be written, so shall it be done
