Did anyone mention the Garibaldi yet? I once convinced someone that Garibaldi's were "invented during WW1 when food didn't need to taste of anything because of the war effort" and that they were shaped the way that they are so that they could be sent in envelopes via Royal Mail to soldiers on the front line. True.

Ah yes, you're quite right of course. I kid you not, during that same conversation I convinced the same person that Adolf Hitler died in East Anglia in 1987 where he had been working as a gardener for Cambridge university.

Oh no....you have it all wrong?! I don't eat them, I collect them. I sometimes take them to beach for photo sessions and build roads for them.

Funny you should say that. I once built Stonehenge out of bourbons. In the centre I put a Jammy Dodger, so that you could pray at the altar of biscuits. All hail the Jammy Dodger!

There you go..... now everyone can see just how important biscuits really are. I think we need more similar photographic evidence of the flexibility they have and the alternative uses of our edible friends?

Actually that's a good point. What is gingerbread? Cake? Biscuit? A gingerbread man; well he's not a cake is he? A biscuit though? Oh, the humanity!
