Apple crumble is only apple crumble if crumble is used. Hard to believe, I know.

Is is Apple Pie, or Apple Tart...........

The list goes on and on and on......

1. No you don't. They're handy, but not essential. Cases are essential for Rice Krispie Buns though, 'cos they'RE BUNS!!!
2. Jaffa Cakes are cakes, hate to have to say it. McVitie's did a demonstration for the English Inland Revenue or someone showing they were cakes to avoid people having to pay the extra VAT on biscuits as a luxury item. This included baking a huge oversize Jaffa Cake as a cake, and letting them go stale. The definition apparently is biscuits go soft, cakes go hard. The Jaffa Cakes went hard. End of.
3. Apple Pie and Apple Tart are not the same thing at all.

From Dictionary.com

apple pie: pie (with a top crust) containing sliced apples and sugar

Apple Tart is a small pie filled with cooked apples, usually having no top crust.

So stann is right on both counts

Stann....I sense huge amounts of pent-up aggression from you when you talk about Jaffa Cakes.......did you have a bad experience as a child...were you deprived of Jaffas...do you need to talk about it????

Apple Tart doesn't have to be small though technically you are right, pie is the one with the crust on top and Tart has no crust on top.

Jaffa Cakes are minging. How could u possibly want to eat some sticky jam on a hard spongy thing with fake choc.....yuck....after all meat and mushrooms, Jaffa Cakes are the next most evil foodstuff.

**Strabane_Harp** · 30/08/2006, 9:54 AM

i dunno, being a harps fan i can see an advantage to some kinds of mushrooms

**BohsPartisan** · 30/08/2006, 10:26 AM

Mushrooms are great. I'm always suspicious of people who don't like them.

Same here. I eat about 2 kilos of them a week.
I'm even more suspicious of people who don't like meat though.

**BohsPartisan** · 30/08/2006, 10:41 AM

Put me on your list so...

Is it all meat you don't like or just meat that doesn't live up to your expectations?

**BohsPartisan** · 30/08/2006, 11:01 AM

Correction, I don't eat meat. There was some meat I liked before I went veggie.

Ah, fickle to the core!

**Magicme** · 30/08/2006, 12:02 PM

I dont eat any dead meat or sushi...figure it out!

'Fraid not, Joe, saw it on QI if the truth be told! That man Stephen Fry is the fount of all wisdom in this world.

And sorry Magicme, have to say that I love 'em! I think it's the very fact that they are made of rubbish chocolate on rubbish sponge with pretend orange that makes them so great! There's too much of this natural food crap going the rounds, bring back the E numbers I say. But then I like meat too so what do I know...

Now where was I... ah yes, BUNS!!!!!
