I call them English cakes because you don't find them in Papua New Guinea, Venezuela, Borneo or Finland, for instance.

As far as I know, Scotland is renowned only for its oat-cakes - with the consistency of the part of an ironing board that you rest the iron on, but with rather less flavour, they are not welcome in our gun club except as targets.
