Incidentally, I came to remember a tale of the great Jaffa lawsuit.  
While Jaffa-cakes at first look would appear to be biscuits, , they 
are in fact defined as cakes, per British law (which means they are 
exempt from a certain type of sales-tax).  Jaffa Cakes are soft, if 
you were wondering, like a sponge-cake (and they do sell them in 
Norway - as biscuits).

A competitor, whose product was defined as biscuit, decided to 
challenge this, and this brought about a trial concerning whether 
Jaffa Cakes were indeed cakes, or if they were biscuits.  The judge 
at the trial was offered a sample, after which he declared "Well, it 
looks like a cake, it feels like a cake, and it tastes like a cake!"  
Nevertheless, he needed, I believe, 30 pages of reasoning to defend 
his ruling that Jaffa Cakes were indeed cakes.
