RE: the use of this biscuit recipe as a weapon of war

Boiling oil was the defensive weapon of choice for lusty knights resisting a seige in Merrie Olde England.

That's why they had crenellations - space to pour the oil.

So you see, everything is connected, from food to architecture, all part of one seamless garment, rent asunder by the Enlightenment. Hence, ironically, the biscuits now explode, injuring the cook, rather than defending him. Thanks, liberal media.
