[NSC] Rules of engagement for the WBBWC24

[Happy Exile]

I will be judging biscuits mostly based on how well they go with a cuppa.

Twix and KitKat etc are much more a relative of the chocolate bar family for me Clive.

In a rational world this would be taken as the benchmark of sound judgement and sanity. I fear we are surrounded by deviants however.

Jaffa Cake vs Twiglet final.

Jaffa Cake vs Twiglet final.

Such a final will be avoided if the rules and structure keeps ahead.

 

[bhafc99]

What about these guys? If KitKats and Twixs are in, then surely they qualify too?

Already a pointless competition. The winner is custard cream for numerous reasons and anyone that says otherwise is delusional.
I will state the FACTS now to avoid weeks of bickering:

1) its a chunky unit comprising of two biscuits in one - so already better than most.
2) its structure and density allows for dunking
3) its girth is suitable for all cups and mugs and most mouths trumping a digestive.
4) for those that like to play with their food it can be dismantled and the cream layer licked or nibbled off extending the pleasure.
5) most shops sell it
6) no chocolate to melt so travels well
7) no nuts or seeds to get stuck in teeth
8) pretty design on both top and bottom
9) its often a value or cheap biscuit
10) its always in biscuit selection packs or boxes showing its popularity.
11) its a traditional British biscuit dating from 1900 so has pedigree
12) the filling can be flavoured with different variations. Some of the most popular ones are coconut, coffee, strawberry, chocolate, orange and lemon.
13) there is no ambiguity - it is a solid biscuit with no hint that it could be conceived as a cake or sweet.

In closing the humble Custard Cream is the most versatile, flavoursome and cost effective biscuit and a clear winner.

I didn't know there were multi-flavoured Custard creams.

I'd like to add a #14 to this list:

Most people are fools and dislike them so buying them for the work biscuit tin is a genius move if, as any sensible person does, you love Custard Creams and desire to stuff your face with them in peace.

Jaffa cakes are not biscuits. Twix and KitKat are also not biscuits.

Therefore they shouldn't be involved in this biscuit competition.

 

[Mellotron]

Such a final will be avoided if the rules and structure keeps ahead.

What does WBBWC stand for? World's Best Biscuit World Cup?

Well quite, try dipping a jaffa cake into your cuppa...

 

[Mellotron]

I'd like to see the Fox's Viennese get quite far as a dark horse - these bad boys are GREAT;

 

[Happy Exile]

I hope Barco and his agent are closely monitoring this thread to get an understanding of the fanbase at the club.

Absolutely!

The humble digestive biscuit is a solid contender

 

[bhafc99]

Absolutely!

Oh.

I thought it was Who Believed Biscuits Were Cakes?

 

[golddene]

Wagon wheels ?

 

[Guinness Boy]

If we're talking dunking with a hot drink (and we should be) then the only real winner, as any Aussie living here, or any Brit who has lived Down Under should be able to tell you is the TIM TAM.

Because then, you can do the Tim Tam Slam.

How to Do the Tim Tam Slam: 6 Steps (with Pictures) - wikiHow

The Tim Tam is a popular chocolate biscuit native to Australia. It consists of two wafers of malted biscuit which sandwich a creamy chocolate filling, with the whole thing being held together by a thin outer layer of chocolate. By nibbling...

I don't care about the rules of engagement, but ultimately if you allow Jaffa cakes into a world's greatest biscuit competition then I'm afraid I'll be boycotting the whole affair.

That's like allowing the oak tree into the world's hardest animal competition. Can you imagine that being allowed to taint the finest NSC world cup ever invented? Of course not.

Well. Legally, you are quite correct. A Court case in 1991 decided that a Jaffa cake was a chocolate covered CAKE and therefore was not subject to VAT which did apply to chocolate covered BISCUIT.

Jaffa cakes therefore have no place in a biscuit competition!

This is what it's all about. You'll need to cut and paste this when the business end gets underway. That said, I can think of some contenders that put up a stiff test.

@TomandJerry you must run the comp in any fashion you think it appropriate. For all intents and purposes, you are Caesar, Emperor & Blatter.

We all know that by the final stages it's bound to have turned into a fetid pit of corruption, acrimony and sleaze (the DNA of NSC) whatever happens.
