So last night J and I popped round to see the Moores for "tea and cake". Amonst many pleasant discussions, we got involved in a rather protracted argument about the nature of cake. For Dave had gone out and bought a cheesecake, a fact which both Tamsin and I were a little confused about, since we would classify it as a dessert, and would expect something more traditional like a Victoria sponge, if we were having tea and cake.[Poll #1598802]

Cheese cake doesn't go hard when it's stale, therefore it's not a cake. Tax law says so. Likewise pavlova.

Most if not all sponge-based articles, pastries such as tarts and Danish pastries together with tortes are all acceptable, although personally I prefer the latter two with coffee.

Point of order: do you serve both cakes and biscuits, for variety, or is that over-indulging?

i think both cake and biscuits would be over-indulgence, but I'd consider it acceptable to be offered a choice either/or.
