I've only had them the once and they remind me of a biscuit in Australia, whose name I've forgotten.

Back in the 1950s (I think) they were invented to be purportedly healthy. They are not healthy *and* they're boring. It's sort of like edging but without gratification, then or later. If you're gonna eat a biscuit, go hard or go home.

* yakka is a word in Australian English, derived from indigenous language. Usually in the form of "hard yakka", it means work, so hard work. It evokes an image of brute strength.

It derives from the HMRC trying to put tax on it, because chocolate on biscuits attracts a tax and chocolate on cake doesn't.

It was determined that Jaffa Cakes are cake at law, because they go hard when they go stale, while biscuits go soft. Therefore no VAT.

Hob nobs are ok if they are chocolate (definitely better than jaffa cakes), but otherwise they are just the scr4pings from the floor in the bakery mixed with wood shavings...

Now rich tea biscuits (could even get me back to drinking tea).

Hobnobs are one of the finest biscuits known to man, for dunking in tea. They were followed by a revolution when covered with milk chocolate. Put simply, the chocolate hobnob is the undisputed king of biscuits.

Mint Slice is a biscuit made by the same company - they're a dark chocolate covered biscuit with a filling like you find in After Eights, if that makes sense.

I've tried one packet, never again. I'll stick to low sugar rich tea and digestives.
