    Hi Roy. Ha ha you made my day by the way you pronounced Queue the first time ! 😅 🤣 I don't know if you knew it, but biscuit comes from the French word Biscuit. Long time ago, this word was used for specific little cakes made for navigators, for sailors who needed food that would last a long time. So the "biscuits" were cooked twice. Bis-cuits (BIS means twice in Latin language and CUIT means cooked in french) so the biscuits were cooked twice to have a better conservation. 😉

      In UK law, biscuits and cakes are two completely different things. Ships' biscuits were biscuits, not cakes. Cakes are soft and go hard when stale. Biscuits are hard and go soft when stale. Biscuits attract a sales tax in the UK (Value Added Tax), cakes do not. In the UK, "cookies" are a specific type of biscuit. Not everytging calling itself a cake is a cake in law: "oatcakes" are considered to be a type of biscuit. McVitie's Jaffa Cakes are sold in the biscuit aisle in the supermarket but, under the law, they are cakes.
