Jaffa cakes aren't cakes. That's like saying Carr's Table Water "Biscuits of distinction" aren't just crackers trying to be fancy. The name means nothing.

They were biscuits. Then what a biscuit was changed. Now they're crackers.

Biscuit means twice cooked, by the way, for anyone still reading this thread. Very few 'biscuits' meet the criteria for the meaning of the word itself these days.
