The more pressing matter is...

Cake or biscuit?

I take to long with a Jaffa Cake, trying to graciously free the orange bit from the rest of the chocolate covered base.

Tesco's wine gums.
I've tried all other brands and can't get enough of the Tesco's own.

A court ruled they are cakes. It was a VAT case to determine how they were taxed.

Very famous.... if you're a tax adviser!

The determining factor, in case you're interested, was that when biscuits go stale, they soften. When cakes go stale, they harden.

As to weaknesses on food, for me it's donuts. I once ate twelve Krispy Kremes in a sitting as it was a variety box and I wanted to know what each tasted like.

All i can suggest is you buy Sainsbury's jaffa cakes as they are exactly the same (i did a prolonged test of all types ) and are cheaper so will save you some money

Jaffa cakes are the best. Room temp for me though. Oreos dunked in milk is a close second though.

Like the flavour of fig rolls but they always seem to me like they're a bit soft and stale, even when new!

The original jammy dodger is still a good'un too
